I agree with your last post 100% Jack. I was just havin' fun about the speed thing. I don't have a web site mate as I just ain't smart enough to know how to do it. :? Just ask Erron, he'll agree I'm sure. :P Jeff

Jack, I think this subject is one that is mostly a matter of personal preference. Each of us will like a particular style of handle over another. In saying this I think bow design will also, to some degree, play a part in what grip type is preferred. Me personally, I shoot longbows, and I like what ...

G'day again Charly, The Ozwood shafts are not available anymore. The original wood was very good as it was air dried. Later they started using kiln (oven) dried wood. This caused many problems as it dried the wood to much and made it brittle. Adding to these problems they started using wood that was...

G'day Charly, Firstly I think the Jarrah burl would be alright for the handle in your longbow. However being a burl the wood grain is most likely running in all directions. So long as the wood does not seem brittle where the grain changes directions than I'm sure it will be fine. Jarrah is a very st...

Jack, IMO I think you will be able to shoot them OK. As you have pointed out, at 155 gr they 30 gr heavier than you usually shoot. However I have found it best to nip the point off of them or the point tends to curl if it hits something a bit hard. If this is done and the head sharpend it will proba...

I hand planned a shaft from Celery Top some years ago. It was reasonably heavy (physical weight) but it didn't have much spine. If the shafts were badly cross grained as you said I would not have used them - rubbish just like any other wood shaft with cross grain. It seems to be a reasonably brittle...

Pat, I was thinking that sure is a big broadhead to be using with rather light equipment. I would think that penetration would be better with a narrower broadhead with your 47# bow. However it certainly got the job done. Congrats once again Ol' Mate. Maybe one day Jude and I might just pay you a vis...

Jack,

I don't think you will lose much in spine weight by tapering them in the manner you say. I would think you will only drop a couple of pounds at most. Glenn might chime in here as I think he plays with tapered arrows a fair bit. Jeff
