Ozbow

Thanks a lot everyone. Got a few archery relayed gifts this year as I always do

Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.

And to the gap shooting vs instinctive I switched my style to shooting with one eye and sort of gun barreling the arrow to now shooting with both eyes open and just looking at where I wish to hit. I no longer look at the how or arrow at all. That is the problem with re learning to shoot. Gap shootin...

Hey guys. I'm not limiting myself to just the one distance, iv only just sealed from shooting gap to instinctive and I am slowly building my confidence up before goi g to the next step. With gap I used to shoot out to 65 metres. As I would lose a dry arrow at this point with instinctive I'm building...

iv noticed when shooting 3 under all the bows are much louder, I assume its as you say Daryl that tiller makes a big difference to the noise made. I don't think it makes much difference to arrow fight though but that might be just me, anyway after switching back to Mediterranean style im not going b...

Well after fileing the rest closer to centre and canting the bow ( which I think was the main benefit. As I held it straight befor ) my arrows at hitting exactly where they need to be. I have to admit shooting the longbow is a totally different game. And to those who shoot well with it, I take my ha...

I have to admit, I love these animals.
They are extra my Inteligent, and i Love the call they make, it makes me chuckle as they sound so morbid and fed up haha

Imagine all the people that would be taking his advise and dry fireing theyer bows

I hate people that try to teach others when they are clueless themselves.

Thank you guys, iv decided to do a bit of bare shaft tuning to see if the arrow are under spine but I have also made the arrow rest closer to centre to see if this helps. I just have to wait two days now to apply all the finish back to the bow and re yest but will try canting the bow slightly too to...

I would love to see this thing shoot if your ever at a range and don't mind a spectator. Iv seen longbows out to 70lb befor but nothing that heavy.

Well done mate

The arrows I'm using are specifically for the longbow. They are very weekly spines compared to the recurve and I got the impression it was because the recurve was centre shot but the long bow isn't.

Does it help to canter the how a little?

The arrows are spiked correctly for the bow. And there is no contact with the riser when shooting them. The DVD is a good idea and I will give it a go. But to be honest Im pretty happy with how I'm shooting out to 45 metres. I have no problem getting groups it's just not as close as my recurve. But ...

After shooting with the recurve for 6 years and finally got a long bow iv noticed that shooting this is a completely different aft for. The first thing I noticed was how quiet it shot compared to the recurve, secondly aiming is a completely different ball game. You can't aim down the shaft as in gap...

Merry Christmas everyone and have a great holiday!

Well I'm going to stick with split finger over 3 under from now on. My groups are better and I'm able to get that extra 20 metres out of my shots.

I have fur silencers on my bow and it doesn't make a single sound. It's the quietest thing iv ever shot. I think like others have said a heavier arrow works and I think if the riser wood is a heavier one it helps absorb a lot of the vibration/noise.

For te last 5 years iv shot 3 fingers under. I was taught to shoot meditaranian style but found three under much more consistent. But now iv just recently given the meditaranian style a go and have improved yet again dramaticly. I'm not sure why but my draw lengh has slightly increased too. Only hal...

The recurve that is...

If no one has whipped the recurve of you by Sumer next year it's mine! I love that bow!!!

It's great to see people enjoying the sport.

A friend of mine bow dishes and he says it's basically anywhere you can spearfish and it is classed as spearfishing it's self.

Thanks Jim that is exactly the reason I want to shoot wooden arrows, shooting carbon or aluminium just seems wrong and takes the traditional out of the trad bow. im looking forward to having to straighten an arrow and not crying everytime I break an expensive carbon. and like I said they will look b...

Thanks guys. another question is where is the best supplier of wooden arrows ( buy this I mean do you guys know a reliable pro shop or person to buy good quality arrows from. the only thing that worries me is buying a set from a store and there being a big weight difference between the shafts, I kno...

So iv only ever shot carbon and aluminium arrows. BUT, I want to shoot wooden arrows with my trad bow. are there any advantages of shooting wooden arrows and are they liable to break all the time. as I said im only used to shooting modern arrows but it just doesn't seem right to do it with a traditi...

Iv seen these bows and they are beautiful. I wish I would have saved my money on buying s hoyt buffalo and spent it on one of these!

Hi everyone sorry for the late reply. I tried Tasmanian oak twice and it broke during the tillering phase both times. I also tried with yew last year and and had the same problem. After getting in touch with Bob I'm now currently working on a glass bow and have to say he's been great. Learned so muc...

Can any bowyer near the coast ( SE QLD ) give me a workshop day on bowmaking. I want to make a flat bow and I have tried twice now and failed both times. Any help would be great.

Thanks
Matt
