Hey Grant, Glad the op went well and you are recovering from your other "accident". Now all you have to do, is place a rubber stopper on one end your longbow, and shape a nobble handly at the other end and you have a walking "aid" and you can get around a field course. Slowly of ...

I was just going to say the same thing Darren......

Congrats Jeff to both you and Jude.


Sue and Steve.

For this clubs first Trad only tournament - what a top weekend it was. Talking with people I haven't seen for years. The format was relaxed, everyone had a good time - despite the rain trying very hard to dampen things (pardon the pun). There was a great variety of events which free flowed over the ...

Hey Mark, That is so neat - Have you not seen Robin Hood Men In Tights - now on a serious note (ok as if!!) - hhmmm... I wonder if there will be a fire ban in October at Wisemans Ferry ??? huh huh huh :D big paddock - bale of hale in the middle- Rob is a fireman and has a fire truck - wooo hooo .......

Hey Mick, There is already a set of Traditional Only rules that the shoots in Qld and I think some NSW (but don't quote me) shoot under, which I was considered sending to Lilydale for them to just have a look at. The shoots that I have been to, vary in events from club to club depending on their ran...

Hey Jacqui,

Tell Sharni she can have any colour her little heart desires.

Cheers guys I'm glad you're happy with them.

Hey Huey,

yes well!!! - trust you to point out the bleedin' obvious - I do - but the top part of the sleeve still catches............, or should I not be such a big girl and just get used to the rain and the wind in Victoria...

Hi All. When I was at the Lilydale shoot last year, shooting in my raincoat and thermals, my bow arm became rather bulky with clothing. A half dozen elastic bands got me through the shoot, however something more permanent was required, so I have come up with this little idea. You can wear whatever y...

Hi Grunter Hunter, I understand what you're saying, however - the Trans Tasman shoot was started by Bill prior to 2005, at the Gladstone Muster, and a few of us actually went over to the TePuke Trad shoot in NZ 2005/2006 to "defend" it - of course with Bruce and Amber in the NZ team on hom...

Hey Ding, There will be a few people "lost" from shooting timbers, because they've never had a good set of timbers in the first place, so when they start shooting they will be given alloys/carbons as their first introduction never knowing the experience of "Trad" so will not know...

What an absolutely wonderful weekend. The wide variety of events is amazing, and there may be even more next year a little birdie told me this morning. The poppinjay was great, a new experience shooting straight up. It was so good catching up with everyone again. Many Thanks to all in the kitchen. T...

Hi Craig,

I'll stick a couple of nocks in the post for you tomorrow to replace the one you smashed (and some spares as you could be on a roll here).

sorry can't help you with the broadheads though.

Happy hunting.

hello everyone. this is one very bleary eyed little person just wanting to say a Very Big WELL DONE to the Lilydale club for the weekend shoot. We arrived home around 4pm this afternoon, disgarding thermal clothing as we drove further up the highway. It was so wonderfully warm here this afternoon. A...

thanks Tony.

Polar bear I have sent you a pm.

Life is too short. Our thoughts are with his family. A great guy indeed. He will be missed.
Sue and Steve

A Great Big Thank you and Well done to all the Caboolture "compounders" (their words not mine), who set up a couple of beaut courses for us Trad Archers.
The weather, shoot and company was superb Ding - you missed a good one.

Looking forward to next years .

Sue

Hi Rob,

That will be two for camping please.

sue

Hey Gavin, that's great news.
Steve has just finished, and sent off, a set of heavy Mountain Ash hunting shafts for a guy in Cairns that is heading over to New Guinea and I had a bit of trouble tracking down the Black Stump broadheads he was after, but I'll be right now.

Hi Mark, Dare I ask what has prompted your little exercise,? I haven't actually read the whole thread, but I do know that 500 on the guage equates to approx 51# spine arrow and 400 is close to 65#, so the figures on your guage aren't lining up (so to speak). We've had two dial guage spining jigs in ...

Ichiban - pm sent.
sue

more targets to shoot at please.

have a great time for all of us mate, you rocker you......

sue

we had a great time - from the food and hospitality, the weather was beaut, the scenery from the field course range was spectacular, to the wide variety of events and the number of arrows shot- and that was just on Saturday. Meeting and talking to a lot of new people and putting faces to names of pe...

Hi Jape, thanks for your kind words. I had some fun dying the material for the limb socks, and as the material is hand dyed every single limb sock will be unique. I've decided to make them extra long, so each person can individualize them, so if you want them to go up and over the handle, they can, ...

Hi Mick,
that's really odd - you can imagine how many arrows Steve does and he's never had a problem with it.
