Re: Check out our new second hand pop top camper

Hey Chris, that looks a great unit. Perfect for those archery weekends but also capable enough for a longer trip. The trip out west to Longreach and parts further west is a really great one with some really great things to see and experience. In Longreach itself the Stockman's Hall of Fame and the Q...

Re: Wisemans Ferry TRADITIONAL ARCHERY GET-TOGETHER MARCH 20

Well what a great weekend of trad archery with some very challenging shooting ... especially the Challenge! :roll: I didn't shoot very well - steep up and down shots and no practice since last year... well they're my excuses anyway. Thanks to Rob, Di, Nergle and all the others who helped organise, s...

Re: possible shoot sunshine coast

Hey Big Bob, I'd be happy to come up to the coast for a shoot - either one day or two - it's only about a one hour drive for me. Also, I'd be happy to find a place to camp in the area if it was a two day shoot. As for the biteys good old Bushman's works wonders. Keep us in the loop via OzBow as soon...

Hey Big Bob, maybe that's where I went wrong - early to bed and no wine???

Re: where they land

The link from Perry will be very helpful - just remember where they talk about arrows landing right or left this is for an archer who draws RIGHT handed. If you draw LEFT handed they will be opposite for you. The other thing is just to work on fixing one thing at a time. If you have a number of vari...

New Mongolian Bow...

I couldn't resist another new bow - this time direct from Ulan Baatar In Mongolia. It should be here some time this week - can't wait to see how it shoots.

This is a traditional horn and sinew bow actually made in Mongolia.
