Hi guys, yep they are a fine bow for sure. Ive been shooting Borders for near on 30 years now started off with a Border Lightning recurve and progressed through the technology/ design improvements. I still have a few others to keep me happy while i wait for a new Black Douglas super swift 60" 6...

Nice jig there! The solution to the wobbles- i purchased a replacement rubber booted chuck for the commercial cresting jigs from 3 Rivers for a couple of bucks. It is a good system and all i did was insert a steel dowel into the chuck (6mm i think it was) and fit this to my drill with a "V"...

C'mon that was out

ok i am on a laptop with one of those funny mouse pad things but still pretty poor hey.

Here is a pic of mine - turbo diesel landcruiser which i have done a few things to. I am about to start a new tray with an alloy/canvas canopy. Will post the pics when i get it finished in a few weeks i hope

Without knowing all your details like draw length and what you want the bow for etc - i would suggest something around the 50-55# range to get started. It will do for most anything unless you have a very short draw length.

The site for Traditional Archery Australia is http//au.geocities.com/tradarcheryaust/five.htm I know the site prvides little information on bowhunting at this point in time and as i understand the reasons for this are political. It was explained and i know it made sense but cant recall the exact rea...

What a disgrace and it is a shame that bowhunting has been tarnished by fools again. Good on you Luke for your work and thanks. Like many of us traditional bowhunters i go about my hunting without much thought for whats happening in the political spotlight. Last week at the Gathering i had along wit...

Bear and Steve, thanks for the comments. Bear i think i met you once in Davies Sports. I used to live up there and did a few years guiding but moved back south for reasons.... My best mate owns a place up there and last year i looked after his place for a few months while he was overseas. Hope to be...

Hi ET, I find for the local game the late afternoon is better as the game is a bit more likely to move off pads etc as they emerge from their beds. The morning usaually catches game following exact pads and ambushing is often the best way but this limits your options to roam around enjoying the walk...

Thanks guys and glad people found some good info in the thread.
Have been real busy but will post a few things soon.

Thanks again

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a brilliant looking hunt and some excellent pics. It couldn't get much better than that.

Hi Mick. All the bows are Border of various type. That one is a 58 inch Black Douglas Ultra. Love fly fishing :) Use to fish a lot for trout until a few years ago but since moving north i have been chasing mangrove jacks from the canoe with good success. Any fish that likes to hunt is a friend of mi...

As i said to Jeff i am always worried about posting hunting pictures for fear of labelled or interpretted the worng way. As long as you all enjoy them i will put a few more on here and there. Jeff, No, that old bull was one i stalked 4 times over a couple of months last year and never felt right for...

Glad you all like the photos. rory - the sunset is one of many i have in various places and that is one of a series of shots as the sun went down, and i have 3 prints of that one at various various stages hanging on the wall. That dingo was trying to sneak up on a mob of about 20 pigs just to the ri...

Forgot about the fishing!

Hi Poppy. Glad you like them. Sorry your envious but i was actually working so it wasn't an actual hunting trip if that helps - just kept getting side tracked

For me nothing sounds better than the sound of several mature boars settling some differences just ahead when walking through the bush with the bow.

The birds of the top end in the morning are equally as good.

No problem Stace ang good to meet you and ET and look forward to another chance to say gooday. There are heaps more pictures but will keep to a reasonable level so the server doesn't overload.

Here is a more detailed picture of the sow above. Note the size of the tooth puncture above the eye!!

On a request i have posted a few pics from last year up north. This hunting was done in the middle of the wet season and so yeah its a tad warm but quiet under foot. All the pics are self portraits as i was hunting by myself so some of the shots could be better but its difficult to get it all right ...

Bloody nice bow mate. When diod you get it and have you taken it for a walk in the bush yet.
Will serve you well for many years and enough punch for any game you wanted to hunt. Love to see it one day

Jeff and Stace, i usually carry a bandage but wasnt aware how important the timing of applying the bandage was and also the fact that you can have 6 hours before you get wobbly.

Just thought i would share some info i got talking to a snake handler the other day. I have spent years walking around extremely remote parts of our country often by myself and have had a few close encounters with snakes over the years. I have often wondered what the plan would be should i get bitte...

Do you know what make of cutter they are and are they just the replacement cutters.
If the 6" banana is the clipper vario hunter pattern i will grab it.

I was fortunate enough to have someone point out to me when i purchased my first recurve in 1979 that i was left eye dominant (and right handed) so i went for a lefty bow. The way i see it is that i am actually lucky to have my best arm pointing the bow but on the flip side i have my weaker arm tryi...

Erron Another way which works for me is to take a seat and put your knee into the rear of the site window, Lock the string on the lower tip and hold in the string groove with your thumb and have your mate place the top loop on as you pull both limbs back - careful not to catch your thumb under the t...
