Re: Four New ones

Tony thank you What is it with you 'bow making blokes' in Qld though that makes you so submissive towards the finer of the species.

Re: Four New ones

Thanks Jeff , don't have any full draw pics , using the timer on my camera would entail reading the instructions and being male I'm pretty sure that is actually illegal here in Queensland

Rod

Thanks

I thought I'd mentioned when I was at your place last I was doing another one , I think this one is either my 5 th or 6 th Reflex Deflex but the others have either been 66" NTN or 64" NTN , this is the first at 68" NTN

G'day Stuart

Where abouts in central Qld are you ?

There may be one of us near by who can help you in person , that is a whole lot easier than trying to explain building a bow in words

Re: Osage Orange seeds

Sending seeds into Australia is a good way to get on the bad side of Australian customs , they just won't let them through , big trouble

Mate in Kansas wanted to send me some a few years back but when he checked it out found he could get into lots of trouble
