Ozbow

All the Best for the Day...

Thanks for the heads up Greybeard.
Same in the thoughts of bigbob lots of machines.
A lot of time and effort put into building this takedown.

nice going, well done Craig those SGB's do a great job.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Hello Feral you lucky bugger 8) 8) :biggrin: have a look at this link the use of Osage Orange from Tree to Bow. All the tips, well watching will give you a better understanding than me trying to tell a tale. I just wish I could lay my hands on some. https://www.youtube....

Like Rod said in gluing up wooden arrows I also like to use Tarzan's Grip for both the fletching and nocks.
If timed correctly it slightly melts a small amount of the nock in making a truly strong bond.

Hello Glen (aka Labasy), I have returned the email as requested.

Are the outfits still for sale, or one of them in reference to my question, for I need to know, as to wanting to make up a Xmas Gift.
thanks, .........Bill

Hello Labasy,

I've sent you a pm.

All the best for you today, your making the best of it for reaching such a great milestone.

In that first picture I see the tree as an old man whittling a stick, that picture along with all the rest are cool.

Hello daserdark, I've sent you a pm.
Can extend the offer by $8.00 if needed.
Bill.

Hello Rod, I've sent you a pm. I hope it helps.

:biggrin: Well Mark, you be sure that everyone in the family is happy, before you settle down to your daily routine. Take in all the sights, keeping them entertained. For I can just see you lazing back hitting on a cold one, line over the rail catching those big, big fish. (I luv yellowbelly) Take i...

:biggrin: I've been asked as to why I'm desperate to find these Broadheads.. Well they are reportedly to be an Australian made head and in being a broadhead collector I'm currently trying to find out as much as possible about all the broadheads, made in Australia. I'm always seeking to find anything...

Happy Birthday, hope you are enjoying your day and all your wishers come true.

I am also envious, ditto to the words, "That's one nice little bow alright!".
I agree that it looks to have heaps and heaps of character.
I'm sure it will do you justice and shoot just as sweetly.

:smile: Like most others, that are traditional, I make most of my gear apart from building a bow, have had a couple of go's but big failures... :sad: . :wink: But I do love collecting broadheads as I go, and afterwards at days end a bit of the old smooth stuff 8) to swallow down when all is secured....

Ditto in it's coming together and looking good. thanks for letting us see.

Thanks Ian, I have answered your pm. great mate.

:biggrin: Hi, to all that know me, as a Broadhead Collector, :roll: and please forgive me for the title, but I am in desperate need to trade anyone that may have some of these broadheads. They are all Australian made and are not that old, for they were made back in 2010 by a firm or someone by the n...

All the best for the day, hope you are having a good one.

Happy Birthday Mark, hope you are having a great time....

That's so Cool
Something to look forward to

For a home made piece, not a bad effort at all, well done.
I would also like to 'Ditto' Ian's request. thanks.

Hello Mat (aka weaponhead)
I also like the look of your new arrows, being a self made product, well done

Is it at all possible in seeing a picture or two of your jig that incorporates a Router that turns your square billets into round dowel shafts.?

thanks for that, I thought it looked alot like araldite, thanks for setting he straight. I have a couple lengths of hickory and an 8" diameter bamboo pole and intend building something soon.

Congratulations, I will be watching, and waiting like a loyal kelpie on the pub steps. Just a quick question, what glue did you use to join the two matched halves.

:surprised: I think I saw it say that this bow was 35# and the way it was shooting, it looks to be a very nice recurve. :smile: Its price is a bit high for me at the moment. :mrgreen: :lol: The way the archer was shooting that bow was very interesting. If all the shots were true and the video unedit...

:surprised: That's not Archery as in Bow and Arrow in any form. A butt of a rifle, and so forth. There you have a Modern technology beyond the needs, it took a lot of very high fire power to make the projectile discharge. The first few shots didn't have the weight behind the round for it to fire. If...

:biggrin: Many, many years ago, (my story) :surprised: when I was a lot younger, 8) I would wonder and walk the paddocks shooting arrows at any object that wouldn't break an arrow. This shooting of different objects at different distances ( never measured any) improved my ability to lift the bow and...

Mick said :smile: All I did, with this new method, was to pre-empt this predictable low shooting by artificially allowing for it and yes, it's certainly a form of gap shooting. It produces results, so I will probably keep on using it. For me, this mix of instinctive and gap shooting works. :smile: W...
