Ozbow

No, they re not the heavy footed ones. This bow has only 43 lbs (sadly, would like better if it were about50). The arrows are Beman Mfx Classic 600 with 145 points and a 1" 1916 footing. I dont use fieldpoints for stumping, my favourite by far are the Ace Hex Heads, they pull quite easy. Carbon...

............... but I'm surprised it made it through the air raids of ww2 intact! I'm pleased that it did, though. No, it didnt. :lol: About 2/3 were bombed flat. It wasnt even on the list for bombing, but some bombers flying home from Nuremberg had some bombs lefts and thought "Lets drop em h...

Hi, After finishing my arrows for the refinished longbow yesterday i was keen on trying them in the field so ive been out for 1 1/2 hours after work today and took the camera with me. At first i really didnt like the locator grip of the longbow and the handshock was pretty awfull too. But after putt...

Hi, ive sometimes had problems with fletching falling of the arrow for some reasons and as i want my gear to be as reliable as possible i started winding them down. I made a little pictorial about it as i thought perhaps someone might be interested. I dont say its the best way to do it, but it works...

Thx alot for sharing!

These fish look like a cross breed between a catfish (tail) and a salmon or trout (head) with whiskers. Very interesting! Do you only catch them with lures and spinners or also with deadbait or the like?

What I would love to see is a politician of any political stripe come out and say that their behaviours, as demonstrated, represent good value for money for the taxpayer.

So, here are some pics of the finished bow. ARCS Millenium Mohican, build 2005; DSCF4735.JPG redefined string groves: DSCF4731.JPG slightly lower shelf, rounded shelf: DSCF4733.JPG DSCF4732.JPG im quite happy with the finish, it has a slight structure and is non-glare: DSCF4734.JPG here is where the...

Hi, Allan, its on is was. ive brought it to the post office about a week ago.
Sorry for the delay but it should be there soon.

thanks Ben, the pics are very good. My mistake was i didnt let the change to the Longbow hapen, i tried getting my wrist high like on recurves...and that doesnt work .

Thanks, stilll feels awkward at the moment but now i know how to do it.

Thx for sharing, great pics and story!

Te pic of the three different coloured new-borns is my favourite! looks like they are conspiring: " Now that were out, how can we get global domination..."

Hi, as i really have no clue how to grip a LB with a locator grip, it just feels not riht no matter how i do it, could you please explain to me? With all those Gringa (beautiful bows btw)shooters out there there ought to be someone who can tell me how its done. The best thing would be a pic of youre...

Oh, and any ideas how i could build the handle up a bit? Thought about a leather wrapping with something underneath but not sure.

I doubt that you will need silencers on that type of bow once you get it shooting right Axel. Jeff Thats true? I dont know much about this kind of bow type. with the few quick shots ive made before sanding it seemed to have a bit of buzzing sound. As this bow is only rated for B50 strings i think i...

Ok, so ive got the bow abut 8 hours ago. so far i like it. the finish was damaged as suspected. has a little handshock but not much and i may be able to get rid of it with brace height changes and perhaps some silencers. three little things miht need some improvement, the string grooves are a bit wo...

Got the sanding paper and tools ready, will receive the bow today and then ill see.

Axel, It looks like a name of some sort has already been taken off just under the writing. You could very carefully sand around the writing if you wanted to leave it there - just give the finish a light sand in that area so as not to sand through to the writing. Jeff The "Name of some sort&quo...

Thanks alot, will try my best. Well, i can give you some before pics already, though i havent got the bow, yet. They are from the seller; http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww119/g_reiner/IMG_1260_klein.jpg http://i711.photobucket.com/albums/ww119/g_reiner/IMG_1254_klein.jpg http://i711.photobucket....

Hi, ive just bought a used bow and it is has some cosmetic issues. The finish is damaged on parts of the limbs. How hard is it to refinish it? In the past ive used simple spraypaint and covered everything up but i am thinking about doing it right this time. Wich kind of finish should i use? Should i...

Hi, i am looking for some Limbs for a Bob Lee TD, the Longbow version. 35-40# would be great as i am looking for a lightweight second pair for formtraining and 3D. Scratches, nicks, stress lines in the finish would be no problem. Ill pay for the extra shipping costs to Germany. Paypal preferred; Tha...

But some bows fly better than others

you even used youre own pot?....I cant see whats wrng with that :lol: :lol: :lol: Some years ago i didnt close the lid as well as i should have on a 1/2 pint box of live maggots (fishing bait) before ive put them in the fridge :shock: Still getting complaints about that, and no live baits in the fri...

exactly what i thought

Firstoff, while broadhead planing and bareshafting on longer distances (30 yards up) the arrows have shown me that they arent finished, yet. They show weak. Didnt have the time to change and retest them till now. DMM, i know Stus Calc, but my numbers are a little different. As said, the strike plate...

Must have been terrible for the marines to watch this accident!

Well, i cant bowhunt in Germany, but i can go elsewhere .

That Bob Lee normally has a -3/16 cc, ive build out the side plate 1/8". This might explain why it needs such a stiff arrow.

Hi, ive been experimenting with arrows lately because i wanted to build something special. An arrow with high FOC, much weight and inexpensive; After a lot of testing and bareshafting and glueing and cutting and...ive come up with this one: Its an Easton Powerflight 300 shaft cut to 31,5"; Its ...

BTW, its not taht hard as i would have thought, actually i can shoot pretty good. OK form may not be as good as with my 58# Bob lee and that handshock still iritates but it works. And that Lee feels so easy and light afterwards

I was tuning simultaneously to writing :) and heres what it feels like: - 6,5" : much handshock, much noise - 6,3/4": less handshock, more noise - 7": best feeling till now, comparetively little handshock, no noise at all. I hope the handshock will get less when i can build matching a...

thanks for the quick reply; will try.

iw ill stick with a B50 string as i think its an older bow and dont want to damage it (and because thats what i got at hand )
