Littlejohn,

What makes you say that?

what weight are you after mate? I have a few limbs for mine, don't use them all.

Hey mate,

do you know what spine those al arrows are?

Should be on there somewhere, probably something like 2213 or 2117.

Did you end up selling this matt?

Edit:

Duh! You told me you had on another forum... haha

Lest we forget.

FYI Big Jims has a cracking deal on at the moment for the old model (with the grey wood) super mag. $300 brand new. But he's only got 40# LH!

I thought I'd put the feelers out here.

I'm saving for a Super Mag and was just going to buy a brand new one, but if anyone has an old one they're not using and would be willing to let go for a reasonable price I'd love to know about it. I'd be interested in anything right handed from 45-55lbs.

Good luck Rob, looks like its winding down quickly, lets hope it keeps that trend going. Be safe.

Jim

Rob, they are spectacular mate.

1. What is your age? 31 2. What is your profession? Soldier 3. What is your location, where do you live? Townsville, QLD 4. What is your knowledge of the feral animal problem? I would say above average but still very superficial. 5. What is your opinion on feral animal problems? I would suggest some...

I just found out about this through the ABA's facebook page, which contained a link through to a post on another forum: (Below Text copied from original newsletter) WA: Hunting environmental contribution inquiry The WA Government is holding an Inquiry into the ‘Potential environmental contribution o...

So my understanding is that bareshaft tuning will produce more efficient flight which is of consequence if you're trying to shoot the arrow very far or through something (like an animal). As far as accuracy is concerned, a matched set of arrows will fly just like each other and group as well as you ...

Jeff, thank you so much for your time and effort.

Steve, thanks for taking it on!

Very neat video Bill, thanks for posting the link.

Ditto the apple shooting

Jim

That's a real beauty Rob.

That's awesome Bob! I've read about it enough, it's nice to put a face to the name, thanks

At the risk of further illumaniting the depths of my ignorance, what is it?

Jim

Unless you're doing it wrong it's the arrow that does most of the killing anyway I heard from an Alaskan recently who uses a Sage to throw pointy sticks at big brown bears on Kodiak Island. The bears haven't eaten him yet, not even once.

Jim

I don't know if they're any good mate but Pats Archery has their Samick CA60 longbows on sale for 200 bucks. About a hundred bucks off.

Might be on or around Hinchinbrook. If it's the island it's no good as the whole thing is a Nat Park I think.

Hey mate, I've looked superficially into goats up here and it wasn't promising. Here's a distribution map from a few years ago.. http://www.feral.org.au/wp-content/gallery/feral-goat-density-2007-queensland/goat_density_qld07.jpg Only a few reports around Towers and right up on the tip. Hopefully so...

Grahame, you kept the same aperture for the 3 exposures? Just different exposure times? Excellent results mate.

Hey guys, I read a neat little process a fella from the US put up on his podcast for putting a patina on carbon knives... http://tbwpodcast.com/knife-patina-how-to-do/ Well, I thought it looked kind of cool so thought I'd give it a go with a worn out old tusker Aztec I had sitting in my broadhead bo...

He's incredible that guy. I'm sure that would wholly ineffective on a battlefield but it's an awesome display of talent none the less.

They look great. It's really cool to have a matching pair for a father and son. I bet you won't find a kid more proud than the young lad that will be holding that alongside his dad. That's really, genuinely awesome Rod. Well done sir!

Jim

600 years and they still can't make them pretty...

Rod, Let's hope one of those beautiful arrows has a conclusive meeting with a buck Great looking arrows mate!

Jim

Rod, all the best with the chital mate. To say I'm jealous would be a wild understatement Hunting them with a long bow would be grand adventure for a dad and his sons !!

Jim

What ever you want to call it mate, it looks a beauty. Love those horn nocks.

Jim

I can't believe this is still for sale. It's a great deal.
