Hey Bill,
here is the Hilbre screw on.One only to trade for the cedar shafts if you are interested.It has never been used and it's pretty trick how they just screw on to woods, I don't know anything about these heads or how old they are.Have you seen them before?
John.

G'day Simon, I shoot my recurve vertical because it seems to be easier to get good alinment that way which is very important when shooting the curves. But for me longbows and selfbows are canted it's just how they naturaly come to hand. As Jeff said canting a longbow opens your sight window where th...

Hey Bob, talking about micarta I thought you might be interested these pics of my wifes new bow.The riser is solid micarta 38#@28", 58" amo it's a little ripper.
John.

Beautifull photos mate.

That is some beautiful wood and a nice looking bow. Thanks KellyG, the heartwood and the sapwood colours have a great natural contrast I think. I just saw this. Great looking bow John with lots of character. You are doing some great things with that Hickory wattle. I was impressed the good results ...

I'll do a build along for the next one mate.
John

Hamish it took a lot of set right to the tips but with a bit of heat I reflexed the them back even with the handle.The reflex gave in a little but the effect on performance is incredible it went from being a dog to a really good shooter.
John.

Thanks for all of your comments guys, the wattle trees can yield some pretty hard hitting bows that are lots of fun to make and shoot too.
John.

Hello again, I did shrink those pics a bit to far try these.
Yes Jeff it's mostly sapwood I have made a few from the heartwood but they would need backing I think.
John

Since Stuntmunky asked the question I thought I would take the oppertunity to show off my latest bow. Timber is Acacia falciformis locally called Hickory, 66" NTN, 50#@28", limbs are 2" at widest point beeswax finish. Shot a couple of field rounds recently with it and I was really hap...

Hey Charlie where abouts is the station?
John.

Nice one Jeffro that is a beautifull spider well saved mate.I love spiders the bigger and hairier the better.
John.

Macca,what is more amazing is that he shot the tournament with his wifes bow and some arrows that he borrowed from a mate and the last arrow he shot on the challenge round had no point he just sharpened it up with a penknife and hit the kill on a 3D deer at about 30 yards downhill now that is good s...

Very, very nice bows Rob it's great to see another aussie bowyer especially one making these fine looking one piece recurves.They really are special bows, just wish I had some money at the moment.
John.

Hello all,
I was having too much fun to take a lot of photos but here's a couple of the old bloke (Sorry Howie "Longbow Legend") who took out the whole shoot'n match.
Well done Howard.
John.

Macca, I have heard that the Predator brand has changed hands and is no longer warrenting bows made before sometime(don't know the date). It seems to be only a problem on the black parts my wifes Custom Classic has a red elm feature lam. on the back and it is fine but the belly is black and it has p...

Hey Macca, Predators are top line recurves I had a Hunter model that I really loved shooting but the grip was a bit fat and didn't agree my bow hand (now got a Bob Lee Bow which fits like a glove). My wife has a Custom Classic model which she loves.They really are great quality bows with only one is...

That's Nick Lintern not Nisk, it's the left most bow in my avatar photo.
John.

You should talk to Nisk Lintern (Noresman Bows) about his explorer model.I've got a 50# @ 28"x 64" and it spits heavy arrows.Everyone I've shot with remarks on it,s speed.
I can post some photos if you like.
John.

Thanks Jeff, Dennis was right on the money with his suggestions the next thing I'm making will be an offset tillerstick. Hi Simon, The bow you saw a Tumut was the retillered version.It's great that you got a good bow from her sister stave I'd like to see you shooting it at Wisemans Ferry. I've only ...

G'Day Mick,
well done on a beautifull first bow. Love the grip.
If you built that you'll have no trouble sorting out arrows mate.
John.

Hello all, I have finally shot-in my changes after Dennis sent me back to the workshop and I'm very happy with the results.The bow picked up a little speed from the reduction of the outer limbs even though it lost 2 pounds in the retillering process ( I don't have a crony but the "point on"...
