Ozbow

...and, forgot to mention, draw length. Haven't measured draw weight yet but will prolly be a smidge over 50#@30"

Should be all good with that length and point weight. The shelf is cut past centre.

Great pics and write-up! Two very purty bows, too.

Hey folks I was gonna wait until it was totally finished, but it's a rainy Friday night at home and I'm in the mood for uploading pictures :biggrin: I built this spine jig out of timber left over from my brother's caravan remodelling. Supports are 26" apart, weight is spot on 2lb. The needle is...

Powerflight 340's... I need them at least 30.5", and want to use them for hunting and 3d so i ordered heavier field points (125, 145 and 175gr).
The shafts are coming uncut so I can muck around and see what works.

I've got a dozen carbons coming, but I'm pretty keen to try some bamboo

Nope.

My other bow is 28# oly style ILF... Arras are .750 spine with 70g points. Only 6.2 gpi, too.

I do have some bamboo stakes from bunnings that I've straightened and spined... Maybe some duplex nail points and duct tape fletches? Nothin but class, lol.

New bow arrived today!! It's a Greatree Highlander Deluxe 64" AMO, 45#@28. The service from Andover Archery was great, emails were answered promptly, brace height and nocking points were set and rug rest and plate installed. It also looks like they've put a thin layer of felt on each end of the...

Reminds me of song lyrics from that magnificent Aussie band, T.I.S.M.

The rich kid becomes a junkie
The poor kid, an advertiser
What a tragic waste of potential
(being a junkie's not so good, either)

There must be some osage down there somewhere, job.. I bought some seeds from a mob in Snug last year. Maybe you could give them a call if you're really keen. http://www.phoenixseeds.net.au/

LOL as if!

They look fantastic

The belly of the riser of the 2nd bow (pic 006) looks like a modernist painting, I love it

Looks great, mate! I'm so jealous, I keep checking the USPS tracking and mine's been sitting in New York since Saturday

Once more the topic of hunting in National Parks is high on the agenda following a 7.30 report last night into alleged activities of Game Council members as well as news of a local rally against hunting in National Parks being planned for next month. This morning, bow hunter Gary Mallard takes exce...

Looks beautifully made, some impressive engineering.

Anyone know if single bevel are OK in NSW state forests? The game council hunter education handbook says "broadheads must have a minimum of 2 sharpened cutting blades", but it's under the section marked recommendations. I might shoot them an email.. Hi Discord, they are fine in state fore...

Thanks mate, I was a little worried about it stacking in the last couple of inches of draw, but I kinda liked the idea of a bit of extra length and mass in the riser for stability as I'll be using it for 3d as well as hunting. I'd like to try a sage to compare... maybe once I get a bit more money co...

That is the reason why the compounders always have to have pressure buttons against arrows ....] I don't. I use a drop-away and if you apply any side pressure to the arrow it will fall off the rest. (Even a strong wind will blow it off the rest.) I'm a bit reluctant to bump this 'heated' thread to ...

I've heard of people using bathroom scales and a tillering stick, sounds a bit dangerous though...

Finger still attached, try harder

Sounds like the Parisians' response to the Eiffel Tower when it was built

Thankyou both!

LOL, I ordered my newie today, too

Went with the 64" Greatree Highlander in 45#. I did find the Samick Phantom very appealing but just couldn't stretch the budget

Holy moley!

I'd be asking them for replacement underwear, too

Found a few more pics, looks like a couple of ILF risers in the mix.
