Ozbow

Hi Perry, sorry to hear you are in pain BUT if in the longer term you have more movement and flexibility the short term pain will be worth it. Here's hoping that it all works out really well for you and you'll be able to do the things you want to do in the future. Thinking of you and wishing you the...

Happy 70th Roadie!!!

I'm glad we were able to share a dram or two at Barambah in anticipation of the great event and I look forward to sharing in still more drams when I see you again at a shoot soon.

My recovery continues to go well albeit slowly.

best regards,

Tom

Latest new just in. .. doctors are happy with progress and all tubes, wires etc have been removed. First time not connected to a machine in almost three weeks - yippeeee!! An hours bed rest to confirm all is OK and I can go home this afternoon!! I have 6 weeks of post op recovery, then 6 weeks cardi...

Well everyone, got through the op ok - some pain but not too bad.
6 weeks before I can drive... not sure how long to draw a bow. We'll just have to start the journey and see.
Thanks for all the kind wishes - they are very much appreciated.
Hope to see you all soon.

Hi everyone, Again a big thank you for all your kind thoughts. Latest news this morning is that open heart surgery will be Friday this week. They will try to repair the existing valve first, if not successful they will then fit a new, likely mechanical valve. I'll be in hospital for 5 days and then ...

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts.

Well it's been an "interesting" week since getting home from Barambah on Sunday. Some may have noticed I was a little short of breath over the weekend due to a cold so had a bad night Sunday finding it hard to breathe. Visited doctor on Monday morning only to be told the ambulance was on t...

It was a great weekend and a real credit to Shrek & Dave and the whole Team from Hinterland! They did ARCHERY proud! By my estimate something like 500 members of the general public paid their money and had a go at archery. My youngest " customer" was 4 years old and my oldest 88 so it ...

I plan to be there and Kate and/or Josh MAY come as well.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there

Hi Ronster,

tonight's forecast suggests that the weather for Saturday and Sunday "may" be better than originally forecast so I guess we'll just have to keep praying and dancing and see what the next couple of days bring.

Hope to see you there under non-rainy skies.

Anyone have a direct line to the weather gods? It's looking like we could have pretty persistent rain across the weekend so now is the time to start praying and doing anti rain dances or whatever else you feel may work. Kate, Josh and I are all planning to attend at this stage but we may whimp out i...

Hey Roadie, sorry to hear you are in pain and need surgery - hopefully all goes well and you'll be on the mend soon. As a number of people here have said there are options and you can't keep a good man down so I'm sure you'll find a solution that works for you. I hope to see you at many trad shoots ...

Hey Ron, Happy Birthday for Sunday and sorry to be late! Hopefully you had a great day and here's to another great year. I look forward to seeing you and Sue at Wide Bay in February for their Trad Shoot. In the meantime please pass on my best to Sue, have a great Chrissie and stay well. See you in 2...

Hi Ritchie,

I plan to be there also.

The Club grounds look great and I'm really looking forward to my first visit to Wide Bay .

See you then and best regards,

Tom

Hi Sue,

I am planning to be there also.

The friendly team at Warwick District Archers held an informal trad get together over the weekend (27th & 28th September) with a good showing of archers from the Sunshine & Gold Coasts, Toowoomba, Brisbane and of course some locals. A great weekend of camping, shooting and laughing was had b...

Hi, Top Hat sell a tool - they call it an arrow puller - but the 3 Rivers website says... "The TakeOut fits all shafts, and can even be used as an installation tool to hold the shaft while installing points or nocks." Search Part No 0926-1 on the 3 Rivers website... only downside is the pr...

Hey Shrek, The Hunt and the whole Hinterland Crew, thanks for a great weekend - great ranges, great company, great food and great fun!! Just TOO much rain on the Saturday... please make sure you get Shrek to talk to the rain gods and sort that out for next time :biggrin: . Also, I left my red Columb...

Hey Greybeard, this looks pretty special - can't wait to see the finished bow and how it shoots. Are you going to shoot Kyudo style or a western style release?? Keep up the great work.. I have lots of asiatic style composite bows but no Yumi yet so you might get a flood of orders? :roll: best regard...

Kate, Josh and I are planning to be there Friday early evening so looking forward to catching up with everyone then.

Ronster, don't forget your guitar.

Hi Grahame,

you could try this website where they sell feathers - grey goose included.

http://www.rainbowfeatherco.com/Goose.htm

There is a photo mid way down the page of three goose feather, one of which they claim is a "grey" goose.

Hope it helps.

Thanks to ALL at Gympie for another great Muster this year.

Great courses and targets, fabulous food, great company and a really welcoming club - Thanks Gympie for a great shoot.

You are definitely on my calendar for next year.

Hey Mark, great to see so many photos from this shoot - well done! It seemed to me that you were busier as a photographer than you ever would be as an archer - and there has obviously been plenty of work sorting photos and loading them to Ozbow as well. So thanks for taking the time and making the e...

Chris,

rotten luck, hope you get better soon.

You could always try the standard Queensland cure... drink a shot or two of rum! It will either kill the germs or at least help you sleep.

Hopefully we'll see you at Gympie next weekend?

Hey Greybeard,

that is a very sweet looking bow! I love the curves and she looks great at full draw.

Hope to see you shooting it soon.... as long as you don't shoot too well!!

Hhmmmmm... live entertainment - very exciting!!

Will it be the Pres. singing? Or maybe dancing? Or perhaps something else?

I cannot wait!!

Thanks to the whole team at Caboolture for another great Trad Event - well done!

Great ranges, lots of fun and really great trophys - the belt buckles really are fantastic.

Thanks again and here's looking forward to another great Corrival in 2015.

To the Gladstone Bowhunters Crew, thanks for a really great weekend. As always the Muster was a fabulous event. Challenging ranges (I agree with Gene), a great setting, great company and lots of laughs. It is also great to see the amount of effort the club and Gene put into engaging and inspiring ou...

I am a member at Lakeside but it doesn't always suit everyone to be in pre-selected groups. :sad: I have two kids that I only see every second week - if they will be with me this is enough reason for us NOT to attend. If your kids were 10 or 12 would you want to know that the group they were with wa...

Yep, another really great trad shoot at Barambah - thanks to everyone at the club who made it all possible from setting the course to cooking and serving food, organising nominations, scoring and all the other things it takes to make a successful shoot. A great weekend that could only be improved by...
