Ozbow

Hey mate i frequent ipswich often, I'll come for a shoot with ya sometime. Welcome back to archery.

will do, ill see if i can use perry's fletching jig next time i make a set. cheers nephew

and i have a post in the trade blanket, im trying to find a spine jig!

Ah yeah what you guys are saying now reminds of what perry was teaching me at the corrival, if he got bit he'd just say "bad form, that's why it cut me" Didn't exactly realize what that meant till today. Also ill redo the knocking points and do proper knocks, Just so you guys know im still...

Yeah my hand started with one small cut and ended with a proper cut, I had to pick small bits of feather out of it as well as sand, it was ripping over the cut due to the sand being on the arrow shafts I may be torquing the bow but for horse bows i always try to keep a loose bow hand to try to keep ...

Got these out of the tool box, Fingerless gloves originally got them for kayaking but these might work ok.

Yep correct, no shelf -straight off the knuckle, thought maybe i could maybe avoid a glove but a gloves gotta be better than this stinging hand.

just normal trad feathers aye

Hey y'all, Made a fresh batch of arrows and strung up my pvc bow for some roving this morning on the beach and by 2 hours my hands were minced, Am i shooting wrong? Sometimes i shoot fine so i know it must be something to do with my technique. http://i.imgur.com/jjCRV7y.jpg Other pics http://i.imgur...

wtb spine jig/tester pm please

Good on him for having a go i guess, He's obviously a bit over his head doing a how-to/tutorial video though.

a real laugh guys - if you can make it to the end without shooting your monitor i'll give you a high five.

Did a lot of gold prospecting some years back up north with and without detectors.Was always a plan of mine once retired to gallavant about trying my luck on old goldfields. I didn't factor in getting a severe addiction to all things bow making, which basically runs my life now.I am sure you will h...

Morning. No Beach on Bribie will be safe! Also post up the not so valuable rubbish you find. Get the sandwich board board ready - Keys found. - and stand near the entry to the Car Park mid-afternoon onwards. When you take up Target you will discover that Metal detectors are handy for finding arrowh...

Getting a detector in a few weeks LB, I've heard it's great fun and you always find something new, Keen as!

I'll do a "what I've found" post when i start up.

Cheers

Hey guy's,

I recently scored a job at bunnings and as a treat i'm going to buy a metal detector and i was just wondering if any of you guys treasure hunt?

let me know if ya do.

Thanks! - tom.

I was doing some tillering today and i added this Beautiful, Graceful, Distinctive...

Hinge.

Worked it out a bit, still a bit of fixing to go, more pics to come soon. It was tillered to 21" till i hinged the darn thing.

Ahh ok cool, thanks heaps

Getting close now guys, Should be shooting it on Wednesday. It's taken me a long time with the tillering mainly because I'm always worried i will take too much wood of then i take shavings of hair off the bow and it's not enough haha. We have the bow at a 5-6inch brace now and have tillered it to 1...

I just finished tillering to a neutral tiller guys. It's bloody scary working on the bow without perry watching i was worried id make a mistake but hey, it went ok :surprised: At brace there's about a 2 to 0mm difference in string height between the top and bottom limbs. (compared to 6-9mm LOL) Tha...

Fanto, do you hunt?

i love the rings on the tips/string grooves

great i was about to ask for a link to one of the sites, Cheers Fanto

wow what a beauty

Gday Jim, Spines are for around 70-80lb bows, You can reduce this with heavy sanding, Some hardware stores stock a smaller diameter, Its about 7mm (5/16 ish) compared to 9-9.5. (23/64) Spines are surprisingly close which shocked me. Just make sure you spend a lot of time finding straight grain dowel...

If i'm correct, unstrung for almost 14 years lol

Thanks guys, Are they good quality bows or more of an antique nowadays?

Anyone know anything about this bow? i tried to find some stuff out about it but couldnt find much, from around the 1980's.



Also that's 50# @ 28 right? 5 looks weird cant tell if its a 6
