Ozbow

I wish you both well.

Kevin

She could always get metal cast like horn bow nocks.

That gear certainly grabs your attention Andy.

Kevin

nothing but praise for my care. never cost me a cent, other than the first visit to pay for car parking.
hate to think how much the surgery the chemo and meds really cost.
It was actually funnily enough a wonderful experience........you learn a lot about yourself looking down the dark tunnel.

Kevin

Very silly way to die because if they catch this one early enough you normally survive.
The s**t on a stick and send it back test can pick this one up very quickly.

Even if you have to buy the kit now....best $10 you will ever spend.....cheaper than a pack of cigarettes or three good coffees.

Kevin

no apologies needed. It was noted as being in humour. a few of us have been there and can verify how accurately funny the whole process is. If you take yourself too seriously during the process you would go nuts. My father had a few months to live with brain tumours when I was doing surgery and chem...

For my bowel resection they had to put my tubes for life support in while I was awake. They tell you not to panic and that you will feel like they are suffocating you but it will be all right because they will give you an injection for anxiety because they do not want you to die of a heart attack :s...

Struggling to be an archer.......never said I was a photographer. You are the only person ever able to get me to take pix let alone post them. well it is hard to take nice photos when some of the subjects are so gnarly looking like the old tired Celtic warrior. it is an I phone 3 and I was racing to...

Grahame, the Horn Master was doing very well. A re enactor had bought a Holmegaard bow from him and came to practice with us and also shot in the demo. He spoke very highly of John. His stall was very professional and in quiet times he did a lot of personal contact visits. I have noticed that a lot ...

I tried to post this with the first lot but it disappeared

I apologise for the poor quality phone images but this is the best I could manage. The flu flus in the box of arrows and used to shoot the deer at 45 metres in the extreme 40 kph cross wind were made by Tony at Blue Moon. I did shorten them and put on screw on adapters so I could change between blun...

I hope by "unfinished business" you do not think that bottle will have anything left in it for next year do you? Think evaporation. I bhave 3.5 litres of that nasty plain Chivas we can use for foot wash and mouth gargle/anti freeze. two mates who with me had never tasted malt so their firs...

Grahame, why??? It seems to be ok for you to have the same objection :biggrin: :biggrin: I did get to walk around away from our camp twice.........to go to the loo. I wanted to go at 9 am ish but got to go around 4 pm. both of us only had time to think when we were doing demos. The rest of the time ...

without trees and green plants life for mammals as we know them [and other animals] would not have started on this planet as they converted C02 to O. so the 4 minute thing without clean air goes to equal number 1. The only mechanism to trap and store the suns energy until the advent of solar cell sy...

Many of us here hit bits of metal on target stands and pop off points regularly....with ease. A fun look through the eyes of a showman. Very well shot and edited for mine but then again I am no techno head with any sort of camera. Good fun. You can see shots just as good made in the final of a trad ...

Spent the last week preparing for and attending Ironfest 2014. The most politically incorrect open to the public [separated from coin] fun space in Australia. World War II tanks, armoured cars, soldiers in battle full sound of blanks; Napoleonic battle; Full tilt jousting; Birds of prey demonstratio...

The thieves decided to break in again sometime between Thursday night last week and last night. We were all out at the IronFest with all our gear. The cupboard was bare. Obviously not involved in mainstream archery as it takes more than a week or so to get the funds and organise replacements. There ...

I reckon rabbits and cats can be the hardest.

Kevin

Sword sticks are specifically listed in the list of prohibited weapons in NSW and most other states.

ASI if you stated what you wrote to the parents and family of the lad, how do you think that would go down? In your rush to promote yourself you overstepped the lines of decency. Facts are facts. Sadly people die when with altered circumstances there may have been a better outcome. No denying that. ...

If it is listed as a prohibited weapon it would be an offence to possess such a prohibited weapon I would expect. It would probably be an offence to manufacture pen guns and other prohibited weapons. It may very well be an offence to manufacture a sword stick if it is a prohibited weapon. Inducing s...

fuzzy bunnie to match the fuzzy moon.
How close to the rabbit were you?

Kevin

ASI, Your comments about David Iredale do not sit right with me. Even if your opinion is well founded, that sort of opinion is ok but to publicly make such a statement whilst promoting your self is tasteless and insensitive. You are promoting your course and services. Linking them to a death in such...

with the advent of powerful 24 volt battery powered angle grinders and because you need to have doors which are weak points it is pretty hard to keep serious criminals out. The quality of pix in bad light at angles is not that conducive to getting a result. If they wear dark glasses or a ski mask wh...

Great for causing you allergies just walking near it. I suspect a really good respirator and extraction fan might be a really good idea.

Our landlord is the local council. We cannot push to turn the joint into Fort Knox like you could if it was your own property. Anything set up in the bush and used a few times a week is always going to attract unwanted attention. Part of life I do not like. I think this is the fourth or fifth time i...

See you soon Roadie.
Polish your horn. I have some lovely Tasmanian single malt throat gargle combination anti freeze for you to sample.

Kevin

Thieves forced their way through a metal window guard in a pretty hefty door between last Sunday and this morning. They got away with 300 brand new club carbon arrows, an arrow saw, two metal detectors, a fold up gazebo, a couple of new shoot through kids bows and a microwave oven. Bathurst Archers ...

may your arrows fly straight........to where you pointed them

Kevin

I go to the same church Ian, I was made redundant over a year ago. Lot of people I know at my age just in my own club have had this experience. If you cannot buy Australian, at least buy from a company that employs Australians.

Kevin

Great outcome indeed. I strongly suspect Abbey have a loyal customer for years to come. Does your lad want the longbow back?
When he does give us a yell. It was great that you guys passed on the loaner bow. Lot of sharing goes on in archery. it is great to see.
