I have seen dogs being used for driving boars and other game during beats in India and i found it too damn dangerous for the dogs.Last time I was in India was participating in a beat and had to see 3 dogs being destroyed,and mind you these dogs were absolute killers but the boar was obviously a lot ...

Used to be the sport of men during the raj in India,I have tried it once,extremely dangerous and very addicting,you never know if the horse is going to stumble or if the boar is going to disembowel you.A friend's grandfather,did take a leopard with a spear in Jaipur.I thought the brits released boar...

Help out a cricket loving and archery loving chap here,someone for the bloody love of god keep me posted on what's going on with cricket,if there is an oddity like me that loves cricket as well as hunting and archery.
Thanks
P.J.

The bloody things taste just like rabbit,found out the hard way,suffice to say a lot of whiskey was involved and a drunk servant/cook,let's just say he does not get his quota until after he is done skinning game and cooking.

Very nice bow.

One of the easiest ways to do fletchings is to glue the feather to the shaft after cuttint it to length and then burning it to shape with a thin file heated over a gasstove,takes a bit of practice,might want to try it with some scrap feathers to get the feel and then doing the real thing.

what would the shipping be to get 20 shafts shipped to Kinsman,ohio U.S.A,I would like to get some if its not cost prohibitive.
Thanks,
P.J.
