Well iam back

#1 Post by Slackshot » Thu Oct 03, 2013 5:03 pm

Hi Geoff and the fraternity. After a year getting myself sorted which included a stint in hospital with wait for it Amnesia... Anyhoo I did get to build another bow with Gregs help and as usual something always goes wrong this time Greg used one of the limbs as a snake remover so it has a split in the glass n the tip but its ok and shoots nice ,taking some game first time out. Some photos for your perusal

So this year we go back over to the Kimberley for the annual hunt. We meaning me as Greg cant make it this time, as more important things have taken his time :lol: :roll: :lol: If you get the drift. So I have put on this device to add a bit more to the ordinary run of the mill video. Bit of playing around to do yet

Welcome back Gary. I had been wondering where you had gotten to. So the big trip is on again huh. All the best mate and I hope you get a good number of pigs.

Thanks Jeff,,,I was always lurking but couldn't get on till things got sorted with my life :biggrin: ..Yep its on again and the young bloke tells me its going to be very hot and the pigs are mobbing up already. There is a block 160 thousand acres that we looked at last year that looked very good but its remote (more than the one we are on) and it will be an overnighter
