Do bows have to be registered in Canberra?

That is appalling behavior.

No, no reg required here mate. I don't think its required anywhere

....and here we go again http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-07-29/native-animals-being-hunted-with-bow-and-arrows/5632024

Fark heads ruining it for everyone

[Maxhead]

Ohh yeah I forgot...Had a few practice shots last weekend. This target was 47690at 30 mtrs
I've still got a bit of tuning to do as the arrows have a bit of a wobble when moving through the air

Edit: The bullseye is our local labour polititian

[BigRAWesty]

Yeah read about the greens push for legislation...
Anyway good shooting mate..
Bloody good for 30m..

We got out Sunday. Hit the targets for an hour or so, so 1 bloke could adjust in his new bow, then the 5 of us hit the sticks in aim for some hares.. Saw 3 but all way to skittish due to swirling wind..

Next time..

[BigRAWesty]

New arrows hopefully here Friday.
Went some easton powerflight 340's with blazer vains..
A nice upgrade..

[BigRAWesty]

Well new arrows turned up..
Very happy.
I stuck a 100mm long footing shaft on the tip. Shaft weight is 440 grains.. So with my 100grn Machanical heads or 125 fixed heads I think I have a nice little setup.

I've heard a whisper that a simple apex drop away rest is coming for fathers day.. So that should increase accuracy once dialled in.. And give a bit better range.

How's everyone else doing??

so who still hunts with a Bow? I'm moving to Brissy and keen to get out and about with a new bow haven't decided what to get yet but looking at either a Mathews or an Oneida

[growler2058]

Havent had mine out since Australia Day

[growler2058]

Mate of mine is a hunter and has bagged goats and deer with his compound bow. He started out stalking deer with rifles but got into compound bows and he prefers that now I believe. I had a go at it once and could hardly pull it back!! Even with my extraordinary guns! :tongue:

A "D" loop and trigger release would sort you out muscles

What do you mean by a beginner, exactly? It doesn't matter if you're a child or a grown-up To give you an idea, my 9-year-old is wearing a similar-sized bow. Also, avoid Chinese junk; a well-known brand secondhand is preferable. Just to mention a few, there's Hoyt Bear Bowtech PSE. This bow, on the other hand, isn't adorned with anything.
Check (https://advancedcrossbow.com/compound-bow-vs-recurve-bow/) difference between Compound bow vs recurve bow?

I'm not sure what the prior owner did, but there isn't anything there now.

A properly designed compound bow uses a series of pulleys with a "tipping point". Once you have drawn the bow string past that point it becomes easy to hold the string and aim the at the target. Once released the string accelerates back past the tipping point, which adds power to the arrow.

I use a 70lb recurve and a 45lb horse bow on the odd bunny around here though did nail a fox with my recurve. I'm sorta a traditionalist and even use black powder firearms occasionally, a 58cal musketoon though I do have modern firearms too.
