Darn it all. the photos are missing? Any chance they can be resurrected?

This is good, we are finally closing in. Thanks for all your thoughts guys. I wish i had taken even more info in at Morwell than what I already filled my brain process with :) Still somewhat in absorption mode but I think the cloud is driftin away, at least in the "what bow to start with" ...

In recent weeks i have been looking for a new stik (two actually) as some may know. Cant quite reach the prices of the local made products :( so it looks like im down to two makes of bow. Havent looked at exact prices yet but both I think are around the same niche? Im not convinced this is a purely ...

Welcome John, Very new to it all myself and thanks to the help on here, not just in answers to questions but support and even loaning gear to me its been a great blessing. Ive only shot clubs recurve takedowns till last week. I did a true trad tourney and just loved it. There is something very speci...

Very nice work mate congrats

Thanks Mick I have been looking a little more closely at the Vipers since this weekend, the deluxe or dark wood version especially. Ok on the arrows and reaching 145m. That was my first shot of a trad wood arrow and I noticed immediately the larger fletching and slower speeds ;) I figured I could do...

This was one of the things I didnt like about the Samick. Its wood just looked a little plain. I was willing to overlook this on the grounds of "first bow Ill treat myself to a nice one another day". I did like how it was erm.. compact purely from a storage and use aspect but wasnt convinc...

Hi all, The Samick CA60 seems to constantly rise to the top of the list. So I ask the question what else is there? In a nutshell , to kick start me and the wifes archery fun, Im closing in on a: LH 40-45# @ 27 -28longbow ~$300 and a RH 30# @ 28-29 longbow ~$300 for the wife. I have had the opportuni...

Just got back... FANTASTIC.. everything I expected and more...
thanks to all.. must rush now



I need a bow!!!!

so I found one piece. It one of my original engravings. Its a sage or wanderers staff. I had to attend an all weekend wedding which had a medieval theme. We all dressed up and got to know the bride groom and both sides of the family really well over that weekend.. hired a bush retreat. We slept, dra...

amen Tex! I know what ya mean, I see some old folk and even my brothers(bachelors) sittn about doing nottin and think gee I wish I had their time. ok on the leather, this I was expecting, the grain on wood so often "takes the tip" with it but then a piece with no grain looses something. He...

Yep looking forward to it.
The wife has done us proud with trad looking costumes for the whole family.
see you all there.

Real nice work gents, love that dragon TEX. Also interested in the fact you did the Indian on leather. Im yet to get hold of some leather to try the poker on. Was there much diff?

Gee I wish work didnt get in the way of my hobbies.

Nice work Hilly, I hope all the other lads out there put down their silly Nintendo DS pacifiers and get into something more constructive like this ;) BTW as a newb great resource and I noticed the quiver dodad you have on the bow. The blue looking thing. info and or close up on that would be useful ...

Real nice work Kimall,

somewhere in my shed is a hotwire poker iron I made up with different tips n such.. I wish I could find spare time to get back into that again.

did you trace first or are you a naturally drawer?
Nice bits of wood too:)

Wouldnt you know it, I was just getting all hot under the collar looking fwd to doing some leatherwork, collecting ideas and patterns when I find out my old retired leatherwork mate has gone off on some retirees overseas holiday.. Who gives these old coots absence of leave. :( I either wait till he ...

Hi All, I noticed a number of references to a section on the web site called lore and legend. erm.. I cant find it. I eventually found a google link which brought up a page of "really good stuff" to read http://www.ozbow.net/stuff/lore_legend_001.htm but then when I click on the listed ite...
