Beautiful looking bow there mate I'm very jealous

Jase, That is surprising that even in England they are misusing the term 'Arrowsmith'. A 'Smith' is the worker of metal afterall. It seems a sign of the times how many of our Archery terms are being misused which only leads to confusion IMO. Jeff I know mate - I however will now refrain from misusi...

"Arrowsmiths" depends on who you ask in this country mate :) Some say arrowsmiths are the people that make the points others say its the name given to makers of the whole arrow (inc making the shaft from raw material etc) which is why I used the term :D Hmm not sure what to do then â€â€...

Very nice grouping there mate! I'm having a good day if I can get a 14" grouping at 60yards (55m) but then again I'm a target archer and 40 yards (37m) is usually my minimum distance and I'm having a good day if I even hit the target at 80 yards (74m). Oh and I'm not very good which doesn't hel...

Hi all

Got a question for you arrowsmiths out there. I have a chance at some Hickory shafts and wanted to know if any of you have used this wood for your arrows? Is this wood hard to straighten etc? Your input would be appreciated.

Thanks guys and gals

Really nice arras there Boomslang

Dust mask and normal brick vents for me I'm afraid

It's pretty well ventilated (cold in the winter I reckon!)

OK as promised - nothing as grand as some of you guys and it gets a bit cramped when I have a few dozen arras on the go but I love it down in my cellar :) http://www.thelongbowshop.com/cellar1.jpg Most of the workspace in one room visible. http://www.thelongbowshop.com/cellar2.jpg Other room where I...

Some nice sets of arras there fellas with some great personal touches. I don't have many photos of my arras but here is one I had on the computer - I think I have posted it before. I've pretty much been doing mine like this for around 15 years I'd guess. Jeff They are very nice looking arras there ...

I agree totally MaylandL. It's a time-out therapy induced thing for me as well. I find myself lost in making the best set of arrows I can and the more I make the more I enjoy it. I am generally a really busy person, career, family, house renovation, bass player in a band, running a music community w...

Hello Guys and G'day I think you guys take your time on your arrows I know last year when I made my set of arrows there where not that good. I wanted to get them done so I could shoot them. I aslo made some arrows about 4 mouths ago they where ok arrows not the best. Thanks for the pics guys. Cody ...

Hi bud - thanks

I have no way of testing flight speed but I can put them on a target comfortably at 60 yards

Hi Matlock

Is your image online or on your computer's desktop?

Hi there. I take off and use points from broken arrows all the time bud. I use a low light on my gas hob and gently heat up the point. After around 60 secs or so (turn it while heating) I then use a pair of pliers to slowly pull the point off. Keeping hold of the point with the pliers I quickly clea...

clinglish wrote:What do you need other than feathers

Always on the look out for shafts, points (target) etc. I'm pretty much all kitted out so it's stock really

J

hahaha - could be glued... scary!!

There's no way they are 5" fletchings either!

Hi clinglish - always open to offers mate

Hi all

I have 300 red RW 5" shield feathers. Looking to trade for same amount of LW 5" shields of any colour.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Cheers

Jase

Hmmm I have already placed the order now so can't go elsewhere :( Tim has replied in the past when getting a price for something but I have no idea what's happening with the emails. I'll try sending a few from different accounts just in case it's me but it does sound like they may be having some iss...

Hi guys

made an order with Tim @ Kustom King and sent him a few emails over the last few days. I sent emails to:

info@kustomkingarchery.com

Wanted to know if any of you spoke with him at all over the last week as none of the emails I sent are getting a reply.

Cheers

Jase

Thanks for that everyone

I'm really liking the Andy Soars Peregrine bow Anna thanks for the links

I guess it's a trad 'flat' Flatbow I'm after so will have a closer look at Andy's stuff and drop him an email.

Cheers

Jase

Hi all. Just sold my clunky horrible metal recurve bow as I haven't shot it for nearly 2 years. I'm thinking of buying a one piece flatbow to go with my ELB. Bearing in mind I'm in the UK would you guys have any suggestions on makes to look out for?

Cheers

Jase

Refund. I found this to be oh-so-close to interesting, but it was mostly no talking, the odd whack of arrow on target (my laptop doesn't play the sounds, I had to use another pc) and many of the captions did move too fast to read. Also many of the slo-mo shots just kep going on and on and on and on...

I'll be interested in your opinions mate

Huge congrats to you both mate!!

J

Hahaha brilliant! Cheered me right up thanks Ant

Currently I have no shafts in those lower pound ranges but should have in the coming month. I have several differing types of wood material coming in various configurations so if you can wait I'm sure something will come it to suit you. Conversely if you got yourself a Hill longbow then I'd....... ...
