Ozbow

Welcome back, Mate. Pull up a log next to the fire and share a few yarns.

Hi Emma, welcome to Ozbow. :smile: Ok, here's my answers to your survey. .1. I'm 47 .2. I'm a trainee soil tester for construction projects .3. I live on Coochiemudlo Island, in Moreton Bay, Sth East QLD .4. Although my knowledge of feral animals is limited, I am aware they are a huge problem, both ...

Can't argue with that advice, John is your man. You can email him from the link to AMSO128 on the front page

Many Happy Returns Ol' fella! Hope you had a great 65th mate!

Seriously though, I hope you got spoiled by your family matey, you deserve it. All the best!

Not too shabby, mate! You've topped me, and I've been at it for 7 years!

Awesome! Welcome to Ozbow. I hope you hang around this site, mate, always good to have new faces with experience.

I like to think I do have a working knowledge of Australian politics, and its history, Grahame, although I admit to knowing little of Askin beyond David Marrs piece "Askin-Friend of organised crime" published back in '81. Nonetheless, my mistake, probably should have verified on Google. :o...

As much as I love to hunt, there is wider society to consider, and as blasphemous as it may seem to some, I vote on much more than single issues. If I have to make sacrifices for the greater good, so be it. I wish more voters would contemplate this perspective. Having said that, I don't believe the ...

The interesting thing is that Labour left a 178 million black hole in parks funding! However, politics aside the biggest threat to camping is from the national parks association. This bunch of greeny no hopers want to keep everyone out of parks full stop and create more parks! Too true Len and not ...

I wish merchants like John ran the Business Council of Australia, we might see see some ethical policies emanate from them...for once!

I dunno what you'd call it, but I think it looks a beauty!

Seems to me Grahame, that there must be a quid in making compounds, based on the apparent promotional budget for the endless new models of Hoyt compounds alone. This point is why I stipulated that I love trad as opposed to commercial (mainly compounds) archery, it's not the compounds per se, it's th...

Been following this thread with interest. I know I stand on a few toes when I talk of not wanting commercialism to be involved in our sport, but this thread illustrates my point perfectly! You blokes are the heart and soul of trad archery, and I go out of my way, even if it costs a little more, to d...

Many Happy Returns, Bear!

" At my age!!! Just wait 'till you really do get to sixty[plus] and each time you lay down means you mightn't get up again!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Now, there's something to look forward to, thanks for that, Bob! :lol: 47 is old mate,twice my age :wink: :wink: :wink: :lol: As for you, Boof, half m...

Gee, considering what greets me in the mirror each morning, 60 sounds generous! :lol: Thanks fellas, I really appreciate it, and yeah Jeff, all signs point to this one ahead of me being my best year yet! :biggrin: Off out to dinner and then to see "Long Walk to Freedom" with my two girls t...

Cant help with the antlers, but good to see you here, Jaydo! It's been a while, mate, glad you're back.

That's a great idea Steve, I sincerely wish you all the best in this endeavour!

Glad you had a good'n Guy! Many Happy Returns, mate!

A wonderful achievement, congratulations to both of you.

Hope it's plain sailing from here, Grant.

Yeah,that would be worth the sub, thanks Jim.

Thanks mate, I agree. I look forward to taking it hunting at least once before I sell it.

Oh yeah? And what do you do to protect your PSE from them, huh??

Nah, I'll whack it up on the roof, Wayno, see if I can pick up foxtel with it!

Oh, I dunno about that... you're clever enough to choose to be an ABC viewer!

From what I've seen, ALL Flatline bows are pretty flash, Rob, but yes, this is exceptional. Well done, mate, your skills are awe inspiring.

This bloke is the maker of the famous Gringa longbows. You could do a lot worse than to have a chat with him, Sevenmil.

there was a pom in the second world war called Mad Jack Churchill who fought the germans with a long bow and wore a sword. If you google his name he got up to some amazing sh!t This was a question on Q.I. just last night! He was a classic, ol' Mad Jack! He insisted an officer must wear a sword into...

I'd sell it again at the first opportunity Craig, if it was me. I would then give the proceeds back to the guy who bought it off you. Life is too short to hunt with an ugly bow. We think alike on this issue, Mick, but no-one seems to want it. We argued pretty strongly over him wanting to give it ba...
