Looks like some beautiful country mate; shame about the lack of game. All the best for the next trip. :biggrin:

I own the bow that Rod was posing with in the photos above... :confused:

Thanks fellas! I have to say though, all the photos are Rods doing, I just write the nonsense in between 'em! :wink:

You'll be right, Paul. Just stick with the program, mate and those contraptions will be in your past before you know it! :razz: :biggrin:

Great story Craig and great photos too Rod.

I own a compound too but it hasn't fired an arrow since before I joined Ozbow. However I think it is fine to use one if you feel like it..... It is far better to hunt with a wheely bow than to be weally lazy and stay at home (dweamin about walloping wabbits) :biggrin:


Cheers...... Rod

I was trying to get a better look at the bow he was holding when crossing the creek but it was not mentioned so thought it must have been a trick if the light. Last photo confirmed it.

Good onya Rod.

While I prefer Recurves and Longbows, I still love shooting my compounds.

Endorse all the above comments about having 2 girlfriends. Love both equally.Using one bow and then returning to the other seems to revitalise oneself, with it.

Never shot a compound in my life, and I doubt I ever will. I'm a one woman man. :wink: :lol:

( Only raggin' Rod... 'cause I can! :razz: Truth is, I couldn't care less what choices other folk make. Good luck to ya regardless of your choice of bow and happy huntin'! :smile: )
