Ozbowians,
After spending some time with the 'dark side' I went out for a recurving ramble with a great mate of mine, whom I hope I will meet up with again, though in Sth Africa on a game ranch
Anyways, Andy has been 'down-under' for the last few months and we have become good friends. He dropped in a while back and we were succesful in taking a young billy goat for meat, and a couple of rabbits.
I was pumped when Andy called and said he was comming back through my area and was keen for a follow up hunt.
An Aussie head that I think is right up there with the best 2 blade heads (Dr Ashby loved em ) is the 'Blackstump' range of broadheads. with my recurve I love the 125 grain 'Bushmaster' which with adapter gives a 150 grian total head. Andy is now a convert, and they are the toughest head I've ever used.
They are a very hard metal, though once an edge is acheived it stays put. They get rediculously sharp. I personally like to use an Accu-Sharp on them..
The Blackstump 'Bushmaster'
We had a great time out whistling for foxes, though none felt a shaft go through them
I was able to show Andy how we do things round here (whistling wise) and he got to see/hear the 'Tenterfield' whistle in action (easily the loadest screetching call I've ever used )
We saw 4 good sized dogs, nice and healthy. We had 2 come to the whistle at once, but we had moved out of position by the time they came
A couple of hero pics of us legends :biglaugh:
Cheers all!
Great to catch up!

jape, which one? I am the ugly mug in the bottom pic... and that is 100% home-made stuff which has proven itself many times now to me now on deer
The other bloke Andy, that mesh overcoat type camo I think is something he got in Sth Africa, but not sure
