help him out by spreading the word
, nothing worse than going to a property everyone raves about and it's been shot out for years
Happened to us at Balranald ,plenty of bones but not even a rabbit left to shoot, No we did shoot a mangie fox.
was doing it a favour I think
But the rest of us just want some properties to hunt on.. The thrill of the hunt is what were after, not financial reward.
I feel it's gunna drive a wedge coz hell see it as us poaching his potential customers..
Mate it is what it is just say it up front its better to say it now then for him to think your all on the same page. Just tell him your thoughts.
I'd bet there aren't any property's that solely profit from hunting alone they would all use it boost there income from farming or cattle etc.. So unless you want to be a farmer lol
There's way too many farkwits trying to shoot/hunt on others properties without permission . These morons will go to any extent to get to where there's anything to kill.(personal experience)
There are a lot of hunters who advertise on our classifieds (Canberra) pages who in my opinion are genuine hunters(both gun and bow).These guys are prepared to put themselves out there and most importantly be able to talk to the farmers/ property owners of what needs to be done. I respect that and if I was ever approached I would most probably let them on my property having the understanding they are there doing a good thing...
Oh this should be in the hunters thread probably..lol
But would you pay them??
Other way around we paid $20 a head and had over 1000 acres to shoot, middle of winter, boy is that chilly in central NSW BBRRRrrrrrrrr
There are places here that allow you to hunt deer on there property and they wasnt 3k to do it so obviously some will pay that. And some want 300 for pigs but I dont think they charge per head its just a duration of hunting
No no.. We don't wanna pay to hunt..
This fella wanting earn a living off it..
So a but quiet here.
We've been smashing it..
I destroyed 5 arrows, another bloke has done in 11.. Hahahahahah. But we're enjoying it.
One of the boys has scored himself a hare with his trad bow off the shelf from 20. Great double lung with heart slice.
And the rest of us have been scoping and practising..
This was a quick setup range Sunday arvo
Attachment 47351
We had a 10, 20, 40 and 50m setup.
By the end of the session we were all comfortably hitting the A4 paper on the 50m target..
But the 20m target is 300x300 and due to printer ink being low, we all were smashing pink beaver.. Bahahahahahaha
Anyway.. What have you slackers been up to??
Farking work getting in the way of fun mate. I haven't been for a shot for couple of weeks and it looks like I'll miss out again next week:(Quote:

Do bows have to be registered in Canberra?
That is appalling behavior.
No, no reg required here mate. I don't think its required anywhereQuote:

Fark heads ruining it for everyone
Ohh yeah I forgot...Had a few practice shots last weekend. This target was Attachment 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
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..
New arrows hopefully here Friday.
Went some easton powerflight 340's with blazer vains..
A nice upgrade..
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
Havent had mine out since Australia Day
A "D" loop and trigger release would sort you out musclesQuote:

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 difference between Compound bow vs recurve bow?
I'm not sure what the prior owner did, but there isn't anything there now.
Question: What is the difference between a compound bow and a recurve bow?
Google it mateQuote:
