They do have a shoot each year and call it something like the "Queensland Traditional Bowhunters Rendezvous". I haven't been for quite a few years now though. I went to the first couple and we had a great time.

If you find some info out Buford we might be able to have a Ozbow get together there as well. Don't know if they would be ready for something like that though. :lol:

Mr Recurve do you have any further info?

According to http://caboolturebowmen.3daaa.com/ on there 2006 calender, NAFA Traditional Rendezvous at Nth Albert on 15 April.
NAFA have a web site http://www.northalbert.com/ BUT their calender is 2 years out of date.

One of my pet hates is web sites that are out of date or do not exist.

Also there is a 2006 calender at

Yeah I'll be there. Haven't shot 3D for nearly two years, and then it was with one of those wheelie thingamajigs (I've seen the light). :wink:

Would also like to put some name to faces as well.

Look for an old bloke with the short Grey beard and say hello,
I promise I won't bite. :)

Buford,
If you wish to email me, I can email a word document to you listing the criteria. Dennis L'aVarenne the authour of the original has given me permission to use the document.
Regards Daryl.

PS There are also details of Grand Master Fletcher which I believe was written by Dave Keable.

If anyone else needs these details please email me.
