Happy birthday Otis hope you had a good one

I have shoot vane out of my recurves and longbows and have not had the back kick out. BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOOT THEM COCK FEATHER IN :!: Got a camo coloured fleece fletch cover bag that hooks over the bow quiver hood with some elastic,it keeps the fletched dry & stops the arrows getting flicked out ...

Hay Otis how are you getting on with them bamboo arrows

the biggest problem is that hunting is getting more popular,it was not that long ago in the land of the long white cloud (nz) that there was only 2 hunting mags now there are a dozen which puts our activities out on the public domain for all to see. We have a program on tv(late at night) which is on...

I have a Bear Polar which has the same shape as this and it is a very nice and forgiving bow to shoot.
I will be looking this "LONGHORN' up for a replacement.
might be able to hit something then

off to see robin hood tomorrow,looking forward to it,it will be excellent with Russell Crow being such an excellent KIWI actor

nice curve john,now she can out shoot ya too

congrats otis and to your new bride,may you always be happy as you are now

Hans is pointing the finger ,dunno what about,(sunday morning the eyes say it all )
We had a great time at the shoot which was at a end of a great week exploring Melbourne,

I use a Kanti bow quiver from kustom king it holds 4 arrows and i strap it on the riser it weighs nothing and do's not effect arrow speed or bow balance.
A lot of our hunting is in bush and scrub a back quiver is not a option,with a bow quiver you can push it though the tight spots
cheers

I do perch up a tree,(sitting on a piece of foam) when hunting Whitetail at Stewart Island and we do bait by putting broadleaf into piles near a suitable tree,then checking in the morn for the ones that are hit then go up that tree 3 hours before dark. It works wonders had them all around me on the ...
