Bamboo Backed Foxes
Hi guys,
I thought a few of you may like to see my recent hunt with my new Norseman Bamboo backed Bow...
I managed to call eight foxes to the whistle on this hunt, with only three offering shoots...
I knocked over the first fox with the bows first arrow at game, so I was a happy camper...
The second shot was a miss, with the arrow sailing over the young foxes back...
The third shot was on target with the fox expiring where he was hit...
So the Norseman Bamboo Backed bow is 2 from 3 arrows... I just hope it success can continue...
Top days hunting with a top bow... Thanks Nick...
Cheers Guy...

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is no where as important as being able to place it in the correct spot....!

Cleaning them up. Tops!

Well done Guy!
You even got to use your flashy new crested arrows.
What type of arrow head did you use?

Great work Guy! Fantastic opening stats for that bow.
I'm on long service leave...need me to come down and keep you company on your next hunt?

Nice work
good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from poor judgement
Nothing is easy. That's why it's called hunting, and not killing

Well done mate . Try and leave some foxes for the rest of us And another new bow I see how many is that now must be close to 15 I reckon. The handle grip looks nice what kind of leather is that. Thanks for posting always nice to read your stories

Re: Bamboo Backed Foxes
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your kind words... I really enjoyed this hunt with the bamboo backed bow... these bows really do it for me...
Thanks mate, I’ll get some pictures and stats up for the bow in the next few days... It’s a lovely bow to shot that’s for sure..
I’m trying to get it to a stage whereby my wife doesn’t notice...
Cheers Guy

Hi Graydon, The arrows are the woodies I made up for the Huntsman, they come out real nice and the broadheads are Outback traditionals, which are a very nice broadhead...hazard wrote:Well done Guy!

Hi mate, the only problem is that I’m a bit of a spur of the moment type of hunter... Sometimes I don’t even know when I’m going hunting...blu-dog wrote:Great work Guy! Fantastic opening stats for that bow.

Re: Bamboo Backed Foxes
Nice!!
I read the title and got worried the foxes were wearing bamboo armor lol. Good to see they are still vunerable.

Justastik Arrow Craft, Its all about the Wood.
Re: Bamboo Backed Foxes
Nice shooting and a nice bow.
One of the chaps at my local club, Sydney Bowmen, by the name of Howard has something similar from Nick.
He also has a selfbow made by Nick - tis very pretty and shoots impressively given it is just a shaped stick with no glass, carbon, sound dampening harmonics or other do-hickeys
Cheers

Common sense; so rare it should be considered a superpower.

Re: Bamboo Backed Foxes
Great stuff Guy, a first outing doesn't get much better than that. If you hadda plugged the second fox for 3 from 3, you would had to buy drinks to get anyone to believe it . Sweet looking bow too mate , would love to develop the skills to make such a thing of beauty.
Cheers..... Rod
