good stuff, always great to read a good Hunting Story

regards Perry

I read that as a smart Lawyer got him off a serious offence lightly. Right now Government is cracking down on Firearms and Hunting. Bowhunting is on the Radar, the straw that breaks the Camels back is close and no way will a smart Lawyer see Law Abiding Archers and Bowhunters given a fair go when th...

good story Mate and great Bows, thanks for sharing

regards Perry

I am disappointed I could not save enough Money to get to the Coffs Trad Shoot, I hope you all have a top Shoot and if the Cookie Crumbles right for next Year I will see you there then. I hope your on the mend and this is the last time you must go through something like this Daryl, please look after...

yes numbers where down Wayno but you would not have noticed it, we had a top time, everyone mingled and there was a great vibe. I have been to other Inaugural Trad Shoots which had less Shooters. Old Mate Shrek TAA Shoot Director will make an announcement in plenty of time for Plans to be made once ...

a great return to Bowhunting.

regards Perry

Has anyone got any feed back on how the Muster went, what were the courses like, how many archers were there and who had a good time etc. Would be good to post a few photos up if anyone has got some. Cheers Wayno G/Day Wayno, just been having a couple of quite Days since I got home from the Muster ...

I am going Hunting out the back of Bollon this weekend and there is a lot of corrugated Dirt before the Property then another 2000 to Mudgee and back and maybe another 1200k if I can afford to go to the Coffs Shoot I decided it would be wise to Service Wilbur the X Trail and have the Suspension upgr...

Anyone else going down to the Muster ? Hope too put some Faces to names !

G/Day Folks, there is still a couple of places left for the Selfbow Workshop being held up at Chevallan Archery Park on the 21st and 22nd of October. If you are interested or have any enquiries please contact me via my Email which is linked on the Workshop Nomination Form. http://www.traditionalarch...

Target Panic is really common and for me boiled down to anxiety brought about by shooting for a Score. Once I learned to not worry about Scores and to place more importance on developing the best Form I could which soon lead to better sub conscious shooting I found I shot a higher percentage of &quo...

look forward to meeting you bigfella.

My trip just got a 1400km longer. I am going Hunting out at Bollon on the Friday a week before, coming home Monday, leaving for Mudgee on Tuesday. Wilbur the X Trail will definitely need a Service before I leave and some major sucking up too the Mrs

This incident should not have happened, I was there, I know what I saw first hand and I left on Saturday arvo disgusted in support of Jim and Naryle. A long winded response here but it's something I am passionate about. To drag Traditional Archery Australia into a local club incident they had nothin...

Finally a commercially available Plastic Glue on Nock system designed to aid in Fast Shooting. This is nothing new as different Cultures around the World have been making Arrows from natural materials with this design Nock for thousands of years. If you shoot with a Thumb Ring you will see the immed...

I was planning a great Road Trip including a Hunt before the TAA National's, going Fishing later in the Week after Mudgee on my way to the Trad Shoot at Coff's Harbour the following weekend. Finances are a little short so I am driving down to the TAA Shoot over 2 or 3 Day's to have a look at a few t...

I think 82 is about the right year, but it looks like a Brown Bear Compound Riser. http://www.cornellpubs.com/diva/divaPOP/divaPOPgold_img.htm?i=http://www.cornellpubs.com/Images4/bear-1982.jpg&c=&a=Bear%201982%20Archery%20Catalog&h=1&n=1&x=&s=15 They where pretty nice in the...

Next Sunday the 10th of September is the annual Viking Culture Day held by the Joth Gar Group up on Mount Tamborine..I have been invited again to do a Selfbow making demonstration. Usually I cut a fresh Stave but this year I am going to finish Tillering the Stave I was working on last year and I am ...

G'Day Grant, good luck with the Shoot Mate, wish I could get down there

regards Perry

Cool, I have a Svord Peasant Knife which I like very much and shares a similar design. Nice work woodie

I think the Magazine you Folks are referring too was called Australian Outdoor's, lots of Bowhunting greats wrote stories that where published in it. It was last published in the early to mid 80's fro memory.

Lucky Bugger, I'd love a Forge but I live in a Unit Complex. Look forward to seeing this little Knife finished. It must be a steep learning curve.

and you have grown disproportionately in cunning than in years Daryl :]

Cool Gary, I'm going to be going to the Coffs Coast Shoot on the way home from Mudgee myself. Plan at this stage is to head to the NSW South Coast after the Muster. We'll see how I go but likely I'll arrive at Coffs Coast Club on Friday morning. I have not been to this shoot before so I'm looking fo...

I would have liked that - the quick and the Dead !

A mate of mine Glenn Hines knew Dallas Conway well, Hunted with him and has told us many Stories of Dallas as we shared a Bottle of Port around a Camp Fire. I started my life in Archery hearing stories about and reading Articles by Dallas Conway but never got to meet him. He left a legacy to be admi...

the only difference will be the Brand struck on the Limb with a Bow like the Jaguar. One Brand comes out of the left hand asian door and the other comes out of the right hand asian door

regards Perry

I must be strange because I would rather know early than later. Cancelling a shoot early is a hard call, the Committee must have agonised over it. As much as People are disappointed the Shoot is cancelled and it is upset's existing plans pulling the pin early gives People time to reorganise and not ...

G'Day Hobo, just thinking out loud Mate, some dimensions of your existing Limbs where and how they mount to the riser might help with identifying if another Brand of Limb will Bolt on your Riser which may broaden your chances of getting a set of Limbs.

Up at the last Chevallan Archery Shoot Dale Marsh, a Man I had heard about way back when I started Archery in the late 70's through the now oldest Shoot of it's type in Australian Archery "The Huntingdale" held annually at the Grange Bowmen and have since got to know presented me with a co...

This is a Post I put on my Facebook Page. Righto I am saving my heart out at the moment because I want to go down to the Traditional Archery Australia First National Muster, A thought - the Archery is whats important ! I am NOT trying to stir the Pot and maybe this Post is inappropriate BUT I hope t...
