Thanks Mick , I'll see what I can arrange...

So the cost of the object plus the postage...., that's all I have to worry about??

Does anyone know what the extra cost's are from buying from the US?

How can postage be calculated on items like a quiver? Are there any more costs invloved?.........

Yeah, I've been doing a bit of looking round and research... I really like the 'Vista Maverick' back quiver. Not leather I know, but I have seen and worn Tracker's one before, and it sits nice and high, anf firm. I also really like 2 other features, 1. the big zip pocket for carrying the hunting ext...

Hmmmm.....

The last one I made followed the directions prety much exactly in the 'Lore and Legends' section. Sure, it wasn't made out of as rigid leather, but it really doesn't fit me very well....

I've been reading up a little on back quivers. I've had problems with them in the past in that they are loose fitting, can be rattly with the arrows, and the arrows get caught up in the bush easily.... But surely a good fitting back quiver is possible...... :?: What dimensions are suitable for my ar...

That is a mean lookin thing there Mick

I wonder what Dr Ashby would think of it's penetration capabilities

Hey Jerry, welcome

Nice idea Mark

Gilnockie, I see what ya gettin at

I'm not keen on making my bow look like a vertical crossbow

I think I'll go without. But Gilnockie, how would the use of such a rest have anything to do with a heavy shafted arrow dropping more than a light arrow

You got it matt

Just keep shootin'

Ok.................................. :? What is the go with the flight of woods :? :lol: Man O man, if you ain't shooting right, then it really shows up hey :!: These arrows fly NOTICEABLY slower than the carbons (as to be expected) but they drop like a stone :shock: I'm determined to get these goin...

Top service from John

My order was made for some heavy fieldpoints, arrived within 2 days He even threw in 3 extra's, recommended

Cheers Hood

Same difference though, a small game head..

To my understanding, 'adder' points are a small peice that is placed behind a screw in fieldpoint to stop total penetration (and add to a fatal wounding) of small game like rabbits and such...

Big, heavy, and shaving sharp...

I've never hunted anything

Nice bows ET

I have always really liked those Black Dog T/D's

There are a few rabbits, hares and foxes on this place. I am reliving that shot at the fox over and over...

Yeah it was great to see my first Red deer, all the better to film my mate right in on them

Jeff, no worries re: sharing the experience

BTW - the Vic Ash shafts are fantastic

We didn't arrow anything, there it is first up, pure and simple. :lol: I personally only saw the **** end of a small pig as it ran across the track infront of the vehicle on our way out. The other pair of blokes used rifles the whole weekend (very soft, as I repeatedly pointed out), but the mate I s...

Jindy, you know I will be forever grateful for your tracking and game knowlege mate

I'm sure you know what I meant in my post, it was just hard to word.

On all these forums there has been a sprinkling of 'interesting' one off posts that have/can cause problems...

All in good spirit

Hey mate, sorry I don't know who you are, or who you know on Ozbow but.... You are (going by your number of posts) very much a newbie on here. We'd all love a hunt now and then, but I doubt that you have built up much of a rapport (spelling ??) with 'us' yet :? Nothin personal, just how it is mate.....

She'll be right Jeff, it's amazing what a little late night soccer can do for extra arrow making time

Was wondering what is the the go with finishing my VA shafts for hunting... Keith did mention a laquer or varnish to me, I can't recall the exact name. Obviously I am after a durable and slik finish for penetration, so will a normal floor varnish type thing do the job? Should I varnish the whole sha...

Yeah I might have a go soon... I'd like a 'proper' one just to use in the meantime and as a back-up too...

No luck?? Anyone

In need of some 'real' (hey Jeff) arrows I contacted Keith F of VA Hardwood Shafts only a day or two back. I am needing them for my first hunt on pigs this comming weekend, and so I'll be putting the Wallace T/D through it's paces for sure :D Anyway, Keith has cut and tapered me some shafts, and I'l...
