Looking really good mate! Let us know how they fly

Jason

Hi all

Good friend of mine is starting out on the fletching side and is looking around for a second hand Bitz LW jig. If any of you see one or have one spare for sale (I know they are as rare as rocking horse sh**! but I said I'd put the word out for them) please let me know

Cheers

Jason

Cheers mate!

It's taken me a while to get it all together properly and sort out our range! Don't forget to use the discount when you order bud

Hi all Some of you may know that I run a UK Trad archery shope in the UK. We aren't the biggest but we do take the time to source the right gear. We only sell what we would use ourselves! We have loads of new trad items in stock including brass bullet points etc. As a special only for Ozbow members ...

Mick Don't forget about your resident brit supplier here as well (and I'm slightly cheaper on some stuff lol! I have added a lot more stock range over the last few months including brass bullet points etc. Have a look and let me know what you think of the site bud http://www.thelongbowshop.com Jase

The technique of shooting off the hand and around the bow is a little misleading , arrow flight all comes to arrow spine - absolutly critical , you will know arrow spine is wrong when you bury a fletch into your hand - smarts I'll tell you , also you will cut yourselfif you bugger up the release . ...

Beautiful work there Coach - been watching your progress mate and as everyone has said so far you should be very proud of conquering a very steep learning curve so quick!

Want to see what handle goes on there now

Jason

A fine looking Armguard there mate - nicely done

Well the Scots did invade the north of England - and then they left. Probably not enough hills to climb or not enough heather on them to flick up under their skirts and tickle their tackle :D . As for the english, well all I can say is that, I'm glad they lost the footy! Mick All I'm saying is 20-1...

G'day Jas, not everybody dislikes the English. I once saved an Englishman from drowning in the surf once, I took my foot off his head. Sorry mate I couldn't help myself. It always amuses me how people will post insulting post under a made up name but I wonder if they would if they had to use their ...

Hey Matt, And by the way, a lot of historians don't think the Britons were ever Celts. England is a province and that's such a helmet headed Germanic approach to History we gauge our success by how many thugs we can muster and how much pillaging we can do? The thing about invading other people's co...

Might be stocking some of these soon bud I'll let you know once I've spoken with my supplier

Jase

Excellent info thanks as always guys!!

I have just bought a horn thumbring that has a string groove on it. I'm off to the field to try it out with my new Horsebow (pics to come!) 55lb @28" later today so I'll let you know how bad a disaster it is tomorrow!

John are they the 'History points' from Bearpaw/Biere you are thinking about? I have just brought some in for my shop and they are great for target and 3D shoots - rounded points kinder to targets: You can see them here http://www.thelongbowshop.com/shop/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=28 Jase

Mick only just seen this - my thoughts and prayers are with you all mate from the far side of the pond

Jason

I have my shop up and running properly now although I'm not sure if the conversion rate would be too expensive for you:

8mm is 5/16

Well as most of you know my wife is pregnant with number 2. She had her scan today and there was no doubting the fact it's a BOY yippiee http://emoticons4u.com/happy/143.gif He was proudly showing off his assets and kicking and waving his arms around. We got it all on tape as well as some print out...

Lol - they looked way bigger in the other pics! Thanks mate will do some research

Hi Nimrod - I'll take a look but it was the smaller ones I was after really Haven't seen any like yours in our Poundstretcher stores either though!

Just thought I would pass this on, our dear friendly chinese slaves are producing these great little clamps and they are for sale in Go-Lo stores for only $2.60 for six! They are perfect size for gripping firmly but without marking, all arrows. I have now got the extra fingers I badly needed when b...

Hi guys - I knew I could count on you all :) Grahame - Yep thought I'd try something a little different for a bit of fun :) I may even buy myself a flatbow next!! MaylandL - Cheers for that. It was a seller on Ebay that was recommended to me by someone who had bought one - I got it for £105 inclu...

Hello from a fellow Pom Pip makes some very nice bows!

J

Hi all Been a while since I was on here - hope you're all well! Just got myself a new 55lb Hunagrian horsebow. Having never strung one I wanted to ask you all what the best way to string it is so I don't damage it? I'm used to the Push/Pull technique on my ELB. I also still have my pocket/rubber sli...

Hi Guys

Thanks anyway

Congrats to you both mate!!

Hi all Need to pick all your brilliant brains. I'm trying to track down manufacturers of brass bullet and bodkin type arrow points. I'm talking to PDP archery about field piles (if they ever return emails that is) so have them covered and I'm in touch with TopHat but their style is a little differen...

Nice splicing there mate! I'd go with the red feather single pink splice

All looking good guys good luck with the new site! I've been sorting out my new site as well so know what you guys are going through! Still gaining stock as well. I obviously can't compete on pricing due to the AUS/GBP exchange rate but if there's anything I can do let me know: http://www.thelongbow...
