Jeff, I showed the wife of thirty five years and she thought that the pictures of the wedding were absolutely STUNNNIG, STUNNING they are absolutely STUNNING ...Bill

Hi Jasmine, one of the best books on medieval archery that I know of, with a lot of information is a book titled "Longbow" written by Robert Hardy. Robert Hardy not only is a writter, but also is an English actor. One of his most famous roles was in a TV series called "All creatures g...

Hi Ben, A job well done, you should be very proud of the time and effort, you've put into fletching those arrows using the sinew, they, as everyone has said do look great. I also like the look of the bow your using, what poundage is it, and where does someone like me get to see a bow of that type up...

To all that are wondering as to the weight of the blunts, I'm sorry but I don't have a grain scale measuring device. (I just use a ruler and a pencil, a blunt sitting on one end and the B'Head on the other like a seesaw to match the weight) Each shell/blunt may vary a little bit in weight due to the...

Ok so the Fords lost but I still got home and inserted a picture of the shells converted into Blunts.

Moreton I'll put up some pictures next week, need to make enough to take a picture or two of before I send them away. Last week I was in Canberra, this week in Melbourne and Gellong back home monday then I'll make some more. Still plenty of shells both 38's and 9mm even some bigger and smaller shell...

Hey, how did the Kites go...??

Hi Roadie, and thanks for the information, but I also still need to know if the bits have a 5 degree / 10 degree inclusive taper, so that when I drill out the blunts, they will fit to my arrows like all the the other heads that I have.

Hi Len, and thanks for the information.
hope to be back from Canberra to watch the program next monday

G'day len,
you say, I have been watching survivor man with Les Stroud, a Canadian fella I would like to know where do I look to also watch his stories..thanks

Hello you say,

To attach I drill a tapered hole and glue them on my arrows.

Question.

The tool you use to drill the tapered hole, does it have a standard 5 degree taper.
If so, where are we able to also purchase such a tool to drill out our Blunts.

thanks.

What a score, well done, good to see something that is original.

Hi there, the weather here in wodonga is just right for Kite building and flying, a storm has just past over and the breeze has picked up. My kids have now all grown up and there's one at home during the school holidays any more, so no more kite flying. The best kite that will always fly is a sled k...

Beauty to behold.
I would love to know as to how much time and effort you put into such a lovely piece of art and if you were to build a bow like that for sale with matching arrows what do you think it would be worth.
I do love seeing things of such beauty as that bow and the arrows.
Thanks....Bill

I received a copy of the DVD a couple of weeks ago and watched it on a very wet and windy day (no going out side to play) and it was enjoyable. I especially liked the very, very easy string making part. So thanks Gavin.

What type & quantity are you after? Some years ago as a Scout leader I bought a couple of rolls of sinew thread from a local Bits & Pieces store, so as to instruct Scouts in making craft items. Like I said it's of a thread type Sinew and if that's all you need your are welcome to it. You can...

Yes Woody, it does seem like a long long time since the Shooting Star days.
Good luck with this one for I am also looking forward to getting a hold of a couple
Bill.

Hi Terryzac, If your looking for full length featers for making Flu-flu's or to cut your own fletching then look no further than either "A.M.S.O 128 P/L Archery Supplies and or Trad Bits" their both on the opening page of this wed sight. With these feathers you won't have any of the proble...

Oh what fantastic pictures, but to hear about his demise and the way it happened has saddened me by such selfishness.

A good old mate of mine (we'll call him "XYZ" ) was hunting out on the Macquarie Marshes in a paddock of wild self sewn wheat growing a bit above knee high when he noticed and shot a pig, he stalked the pig, the pig turned and charged. XYZ sidestepped the charging pig and the pig side step...

If I'm able, I'll post some pictures tomorrow...ok. PS Photos added. A 4th Century 3 Blade Bronze Age Head & a 14th Century Iron Age Bodkin Head.JPG B'heads made in the 1920 & 30's in SA..JPG Favourite Obsidian Heads.JPG Some of the home made B'Heads.JPG Folding Cabinet left side door.JPG Fo...

Just wondering how many other collectors are out there? I like collecting Broadheads, along with Mike-dy who I know has one of the best collections for display. He has put alot of time and effort in making up his very well organised and constructed collection. I myself have a few from the early 1920...

Hi to all, and to all that have called with your thoughts wishing me well. Especially to both Peter & Richard for your wise instruction and suggestions. I will take onboard all the adivce you both have freely given. So with the help of my physio and fellow brothers in arms for support, I see a l...

Hi to all, I'm wondering as to how many of you have had shoulder surgery, (mine was to my drawing arm, not from over drawing but due to a dislocation of the shoulder), how long did it take for you to recover with physio and get rid of that pinching pain in the upper part of your shoulder.

Hi Cody, I sent you an email on the 12th regarding those 17 other alloys you had for sale, did you receive it, or have you already sold them, for I'm looking for some stong alloys that I can use to teach a classroom of kids all about basic archery skills. ..............Bill

Intersting,.........very Interesting to see if it will be the making or breaking of this bow.

Well it was thirty plus years ago at TCB, all the bows there were for hunting. The weight of these bows were far to heavy for me. Then Nick showed me a Bear Polar II and I could shoot that. It stayed that way up until the mid to late 80's when a bloke by the name of Paul told me he could make/get me...

I found this and it may be of interest to those that would like to know a little bit more than just, Forward of Centre "FOC". An arrow has to have a point that is made of material with a high density eg..metal, iron, flint or bone, as compared to the actual arrow weight, a nock which fits ...

I have used the Tusker's (AKA Davies) since the mid 70's. I can't fault them, unless you hit something hard, like the forehead of a charging pig the Concords tend to curl-up. All in all I have shot all the Aussie made B'Heads and they have all performed to my satisfaction over the 30 plus years. ps ...

Not only has he admitted to shooting Roos, but the Authorities in Albury are looking for a Roo Shooter, you can pick up on the shooting from Roof to Roo in the following link.
