If you go for the thumb ring use a horn one. I tried the leather one and damn near killed my thumb. My eBay special is like yours but I classify it as a fun one to shoot for the money. I would love to get a good one, and will one day as I really like it.

Good thing you live in the wild west. If you lived in the eastern nanny states you may not have a choice soon.................

Fully understand that one. If its not attached to something electroinc it doesn't count.

Always has to be one fool who spoils it for the rest of us................

I have the same dacron flemish string on my bow the last 18 months. It gets at least a hundred shots through it each week and still going strong.

On a small piece you could try painting the ends the help stop checking and shove it in a car in the sun. Natural hotbox and doesn't cost anything to run.

Can't be right Grahame! I do the same thing each shot and they are still all over the shop. Now this bloke is saying I can't blame my bow !!

It supports what most of us have said for years when people "have" to upgrade because they have gone past their equipment.

I have to STOP reading threads like this one!!

That one would be REALLY funny if it wasn't so true

You obviously love your bandsaw like I love mine.

Great job

While I sit here in my office I REALLY needed/enjoyed that. Now back to work/reality.................

If ya want a stuffed toy then buy one. If you want a dog then get one. BUT they are not the same things.

That must really screw up the dogs head a self esteme. I know mine get upset with a bath!

Another vote for eucalyptus oil. Works brilliantly.

You are right about the wallies who cut fences, bog up paddocks and generally cause problems they certainly give any form of hunting a bad name and let the nay sayers have a foothold. No matter what they say about cruelty, hunting and dogging are kinder than baiting BUT the public never see a baited...

I don't know why people always think of banning as a control on an activity they don't know anything about. There are already laws for cruelty that could be strengthened so they are more easily enforced. The real doggers who quickly dispatch the pigs would be OK but the ones that "take the stin...

Being a bit of a recurve bloke that is a thing of great beauty. I envy you.

What goes round, comes round. If you treat all fairly and with honour it comes back.

Best move I ever did and the lack of finger pinch is a bounus as well.

I was right. Spent a couple of hours delving in that little lot and I think I will have to re-read it several times to fully get my head around it. Great stuff, while you don't have to know it all it sure will make setting up gear and improving technique that bit "easier".

Thanks for the link Grahame. It sure will take a while to dig thorough all that info.

Welcome to Ozbow Finnie. I am in awe, I had the same theory about cheap mistakes and each time my Tassie Oak crushed on the belly side. I never got one to shooting stage.

Some photos please

Listen to what Kev just said and you will be off and running.

You could try a farriers rasp David or a spokeshave.

Cheers

Hardley "bodged together", they are beautiful. I would have trouble shooting those as I would be worried about them.

Oh, the vision of the new winter sport of nude downhill skiing with Kev and Ian as the leaders. SCAREY!!!!

Nice bow but it must be a bit chilly there with the cardigan needed now........

Fess up Kev. You're just "different"

But the hats really make sense all year.
