German beer and archery - If that was my club I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven :)

Hi Kelly - Im the same Aussie from Trad Gang.

Apparently working out the exact species of these are quite an art.
Perhaps one of the Australian botanist sites may help.

Re: Skinned Limbs

I got a pair of schafer silvertip limbs with rattlesnakes skins sent from the US. Didn't even think about customs to be honest and I had no problem.
The limbs cost me $270 so if I had to pay $260 for a radiation treatment I would have been upset.

Hello, a friend from my archery club has recently completed making his 1st Take down recurve. (And only his 2nd made bow) He was asking me about whether the tiller of his bow looked correct and I suggested rather than me giving him incorrect information I'd post it here.

Moreton, My quit success is somewhat tainted by the last few months - but I gave up for 3 years and I've just quit again. Suggestions: 1) For the 1st week avoid the "triggers for smoking". For myself I avoid a beer for the first few weeks 2) I use the tablets at first - use them to control...

Re: bows and arrows for sale

Thanks for the reply Tony. I think they might be a little too stiff for my needs.

I was however pimping the Hoyt at my club today - it's a bloody great price for a bow like that.
I also enjoyed the story about the Damon - in Archery Action if I recall correctly? I assume it's the same bow.

Thanks Tony - might be a bit stiff for my bows at 57# and 66#.
Did the arrows shoot ok out of the Hoyt?
I suppose with a bit more weight up front they might not be too stiff.

I think they would mate - not that I have ever tried a bow against them.

Moved into a new place 7 months ago and the place was lousy with the things. I declared jihad on the little brown bastards and I now have native wattle birds, silver eyed finches and other natives back :)

Chuditch if you want the Selway it's yours.

I was only getting it out of curiosity - I doubt I will ever use it in the field. I'm much too set in my ways with my Safari Tuff duiker.
