Very nice Lez. You'll need it when you fit your truck spring bow!

JohnDoes it work OK with one handle? I thought they usually had two. Or was that just the de luxe models?!

Hi Gregor. There is an archery store in Whangarei, also called Arrowhead Archery, strangely enough. They sell traditional type bows (that is: modern fibreglass laminated recurves & longbows), but ...

Hi Gregor,
Thanks for that, that's a great site. You'll find stuff on Youtube from the same crowd, making atlatls and stuff. I do like wooden bows, that is when they're not exploding and hitting me ...

Hi Frosty, I know who you're refering to. A very nice guy and calling him "keen" is putting it mildly! He was trying to get a chapter of the English Warbow Society going up here but then opted for fo ...

Hi NIgel. Thanks for that. I just bought 6 "kids arrows" from my local archery dealer for $3 each, which I guess is pretty good. I'll strip off the vanes & put on flu-flu feathers. They should do ...
