From the Game Council website: 178 State forests, first declared in May 2008, are currently proposed to be redeclared as available for hunting to assist in the management and control of game animals. The proposed declarations commence on 26th April 2013 for a period of ten years, up to 26th April 20...

I have been thinking about trying to make my own bow quiver for quite a while and couldn't figure out what to use for arrow grippers. My local clark rubber closed down over a year ago so I was at bit of an impasse. Then today I found this video. The answer to my problem? THONGS! The man's a genius, ...

She's a beauty, mate! Nice shape to the riser!

Have you thought about trying micarta? Not very traditional, but might last longer...

What a crackup! I thought the guy's name looked familiar and I realised he was in the paper a couple of years ago:

Happy birthday Gary!

I just finished watching episode 1 of the new show "Vikings" that screened on the History Channel in the US Sunday night. It's touted as an "historical drama", set during the early medieval period. It wasn't bad, they seem to be trying to be as authentic as possible, with a bit o...

No worries, mate.
I've been kinda stalking this bow on here, it's a beautiful thing
Long term goal for me now to take an animal with a selfbow made by me. Long way off, though

All it needs is some muskrat string silencers

Very nice! Gaz looks stoked

Hi Bryan You question peaked the interest of the maths nerd in me :smile: I found this quite interesting: http://peteward.com/ballistic.calc.htm You have to manually factor in the fact that a heavier arrow leaves the bow at a slower speed, but it gives you some idea. edit: After plugging some number...

I'd use a hacksaw. The thought of cleaning a bandsaw afterwords...

Amazing!

Awesome

Thanks Bob

Well, the rain stopped and I couldn't bear it any longer, I *HAD* to shoot my new bow. So I made an arrow :lol: :lol: :lol: It's a bamboo stake from Bunnings, straightened with a heat gun. The Spine came in at about 80#, a bit high, but the lowest of the bunch. The point I made by cutting the head o...

Queensland: The smart state

Could you maybe put a thin washer or a shim under the limb bolt?

Have you measured the tiller with the limbs reversed?

They're not ILF. The info on the Hoyt website says the Buffalo has adjustable tiller, but doesn't say the Game Master does. Doesn't say it doesn't have, either

I've never heard of a bow having negative tiller like that.. Maybe shoot an email to Hoyt?

I didn't need any tools for the pivot except a drill and a vice. I used an 8mm bolt, threw it in the vice and drilled a 3.5mm hole through it for the brazing rod, then locked it in place with a washer and a nut either side. I drilled a hole through the back piece of timber with a spade bit, didn't h...

Thanks for the kind words, fellas. Luckily(?) it hasn't stopped raining here for more than a minute so I don't feel too bad

Fraser, I'm guessing with the weight of the bows you shoot, you put some pretty stiff spines on your tester? I noticed with this type of protractor-type gauge the heavy spine groups are quite close together on the scale... Have you had any problems? Do you take your measurements differently, ie dial...

heheh, I look forward to the "x sleeps to go, x mm of rain and x degrees C predicted" posts

You poor buggers, my girlfriend loves getting on the ride-on mower, I even get in trouble if I mow too much
