Farewell to "this old man" Gough
Australia said goodbye one of its best and fairest today. You will be missed. Such a pity your last days were under the shadow of a government hell bent on tearing every decent thing down including many that you had initiated. Australia needs someone like you now more than ever, and there is no one ...

Re: Generations
I am surprised there are no comments here for this video.
This was very cool. Hunting with a classic 60 year old bow. Amazing.
Good find, cheers.

Hi Mick, I really like Trad Talk and have learned a lot from that site.

Re: When did 3 fingers under become popular in Australia?
Back in the early 80's I switched to shooting 3 under with my Compound and shot Split with my Recurve. I adjusted the Compounds Tuning and Arrow Mass so that with a 3 Under Anchor I had the same Point Blank Range with both types of Bows. I Shot and Set Up the last Compound I bought [ late 90's ] up...

Beautiful. Why are short bows so damned sexy? I fell in love with the Bear Kodiak Magnum at first sight 40+ years ago and they are still today a bow that has such beautiful lines. Interestingly the Super Mag never held the same appeal. To me the brace height was too high....always felt half drawn an...

Re: When did 3 fingers under become popular in Australia?
I remember Brian Heber? (Hebel) was shooting recurve and competing in ABA in the late 70's and early 80's using three fingers under.
Brian is the only one I can remember using that style at that period.

The other remarkable thing was that a majority of the bows exhibit a "reflex" in the handle, I could only see this reference in relation to reflex in the link you provided. A bow having reflex in the handle is in no way saying that it would have recurved tips. Jeff Hi Jeff. No mate, I was...

Re: grange bowmen info
G'day Terry,
I think someone is having a laugh.
Are there even bows under 10 pounds for an adult?
They are sticklers for insurance but there is the probation option before becoming a full member.
They are definitely ABA club for sure.
