Ozbow

its the CITES agreement that is the biggest hurdle, you need to provide evidence that the skin is not from a CITES listed species like a boa or anaconda etc otherwise they will need to check and will charge you for their time.

As an addendum to my previous post about the GT Classics, when we spun them up to check the straightness they wobbled like woods (except 3) and the ones in the middle were markedly blemished, so they got sent back Now looking at some Carbon Epics

Please dont get me wrong Homeontherange, I love this bow and wish I had the cash to buy it, I love Jim's work and since his depature his bows have gained a cult-like status in some circles. If i had the money I'd certainly try to buy that bow as it is well priced and desirable. With the majority of ...

I have been caught before importing a bow with rattler skin on the limbs effin UPS handed it to customs who too three weeks to identify the skin via a local herp expert (to make sure it wasnt on CITES list like boa or anaconda) then sent to Lucas Heights for irradiation to kill any bugs, total cost ...

Just looking at the new Samick catalogue for 2006 and see that some nice hunting bows are being made to tempt our wallets. Personally I have my hand up for the new Samick Lightning, which by Samick standards is one of their more expensive bows. The Lightning features a very short riser section with ...

Ive just started with the same shafts (35-55# around a .500 spine), cut to 27" and using ACC 108gr target points, no wire, 3x4" shield cuts, and a wrap. I estimate around 350gr all up and ideal for my new 45# equus or 45# talon hyper. I think the idea of the carbons is to allow lower pound...

Matt with kids bows Id be tempted to make some board bows from hardwood floorboards like River Gum. Just ensure the grain doesnt fade along the plank and for my kids I backed the bow in colourful silk and added cartoon characters etc. With a bandsaw you can have the basic shape out in no time, its e...

Hi folks just looking for some feedback on this bow, At 60# looking at making it a field bow (targets) rather than hunting, any info/advice most welcome.

Is there any trad shooters in the US you could send it to, so that that you can get it from that fool woman? They could resend to you at a more reasonable rate.

I bought my brass ones from Quicks in the UK, but i've seen whistlers made from spent .38 special cartridges with the primer knocked out and a couple of holes in the side.

What about "Mixes with Marcus"
