Tusker I think

Thanks Gaz I think it is a tusker I didnt care to much about
weight and that sought of thing as this arrow was given away
as a gift and wont be used.(I did shoot it some though and it
shot great out of the selfbow)

Pics

No need

Mate I am pretty new to the self nock thing but in the bow building bible

arrows on the trad thread and these have selfnocks.

Grains

Saul I think you misunderstood Mick or mabey he read it wrong because it is not the grain they talk about in the Aussie timber it is the growth rings that are more packed together and not the grain. When bow making they say in the US that you must follow one ring the full lenght of the bow and not c...

First shot.

I shot the spotted gum flat bow today and I am rapt. It doesn't have the handle and I was using the tillering string but it looked so good on the tiller board I just had to. It shoots awsome,it lands the arrow just where you look right out to 25 mtrs it could hit a target the size of a soccer ball.I...
