Ozbow

It should work fine if you have them aligned about 20 deg off vertical so that the bottom one will clear the shelf. You would need to look at the minimum total length of feather if considering to use this setup in competition. The minimum combined length is 12 in. in most comps. that is 2 x 6" ...

Thanks Mark

I know it looks a bit different but gives it a similar feel to a recurve. In terms of stability in the hand this is second to none. I too had a shot of Roberts bow. At the time I thought it was ok but when I got home and started to think about it I knew that I had to have one. This is one of only 4 ...

Just received my new toy from Nick of Norseman Bows. 66" boo lams covered back and front with Zebra Wood, handle of Osage with Wenge Lam. 70lb @28" smooth as silk. august 2009 399.jpg august 2009 400.jpg august 2009 403.jpg august 2009 404.jpg august 2009 405.jpg I'll report on the perform...

Welcome to longbows. The Stick would be particularly bad because it has no shape in the grip at all. The arm-guard is the answer. I shoot with a slightly bent elbow to give some clearance but I still get hit. It doesn't bother the arrow flight as the arrow is long gone before the contact. Or the oth...

Wow, Envy is meant to be wrong but I cant help it!

good job Guy.
If you go the full tanning method the smell will disappear.

Good question otis. i started as a convert from firearms as a kid to a compond bow that was purchased from a guy some of you might know from the olden days. Tom Doctor. On my first hunting trip I bounced an arrow off a pig with that bow and was offered a loan of a wagok 60lb recurve and took my firs...

Hi there matt, A good guide is that the arrow suspended from the string will support itself - just. But the bow suspended from the arrow will not. I got this from Byron ferguson - Become the arrow, tuning section. I have used this method with good results. The other thing in that I nock both above a...

Looking forward to it!

thanks mate

Hi there Hue
I have lost 20 odd kg's so far and the weight is still dropping slowly.
I will have to update my avitar soon as that fat bloke does'nt look like me so much now
Thanks for your wishes mate.

Thankyou all for your well wishes Sorry for the delay in responding I was up north looking for some frezzer fillers. Unfortunately a lack of rain has sent the game further afield. Maybe next time will be more productive. Had a great weekend all the same Sorry no pictures. We headed up on Friday morn...

Sorry hue I won't be around this week end.

http://www.rosecityarchery.com/spine.htm shows 55-60 spine arrows suit a bow of 45-50lb if arrows are cut at 29". the tip weight for this chart is 125grains and the off center shot of 1/8" Have a look at this site as it has a step by step guide on arrow selection.
Cheers

Hello John, Just one more thing on arrow length. The arrow length will be dictated by the spine of the arrow you need. If the arrow is stiff, a longer length will be needed and a softer shaft will need to be shorter to compensate for this. So if you are after a specific length arrow, you will first ...

done. good job picking this up mate.

Hey there morton, Jeff is absolutely right. The old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it." is exactly what jeff is talking about here. Many years ago, Jeff must have come across the combination that works for him and has never changed it. Life becomes very simple. If we have the willpower...

well put ben and g_r. Racism is more implied and used on both sides as a last resort card. I have a mixed background, greek / english and as a child was in a country town of a handful of greek families and the issues that I faced growing up there are not part of the lives of my children and I would ...

I am wondering if there is any interest in team competitions. It occured to me that we are able to hold team events that could be integrated into a national competition. The archery hall of fame and traditional archery australia are independent organizations that are wanting to promote traditional a...

Don't know about this one????

Hello there Hue. No need to feed my ego, I have a fair share already :shock: The trip was great, I met archers from Cherry Valley and San Diego. Everyone I came in contact with were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The traditional scene in Southern California is not all that develpoped but ther...

I did meet steve and you are right, a very nice chap.

My mistake I think you are right. I always get you guys mixed up. Sorry.

I had the pleasure of shooting a new bow that belongs to a young lass yesterday. This bow was made by Steve Farrell and purchased through Wildwood archery. It was a 38lb @28" longbow that totally caught me by surprise :shock: This little bow was fast, smooth to draw and felt great in the hand. ...

Just sent a pm to one of the ballarat bloke to check.
Regards SG

I'll check it out.

hello dances, use the weight that you can happily handle for twice the number of arrows you would normally shoot in competition without fatigue. The cast of the arrow has more to do with the grains per pound you are shooting than the poundage. A 40lb bow shooting an arrow @ 5 grains per pound will b...

no worries mate. Carbons are hard to deal with. I found that when I was shooting carbons out of my bear 60lb recurve the 400 spine beaman hawks shot really well but when I increased the tip weight they did not have the same resultant weakening of spine that you would expect from aluminums or woods. ...

try a couple with 5" fletches. It looks like to feathers are 4" is that right? use 4 feathers instead of three. Short of that give them to someone with a compound and get some good Oregon / douglas fir arrows. These arrows are tough and last really well with hunting broadheads. I use 170gr...
