Archery

Nice arrows. I love a simple arrow. All white too, I am a trend setter. Look forward to seeing them in flight.

I fletched my aluminium arrows with tape too, cheap off ebay and they have held up well

 

[Cromm]

I've never had any luck with the tape, fletching always seems to slip. Don't know why ?

I ve just put a drip of superglue on leading edge of the flectch in case it lifted...

Hi all,
Have been a lurker for a while now. Have read this thread with interest. Namely because I've always shot Olympic recurve and am a GNAS leader, however, I've just ordered a KG Osprey and am looking at getting into instinctive/field Archery. I notice you guys are suffolk based, I Live in Bury. I've heard Kings Forest Bowmen in Thetford is quite a good field club. Any suggestions on others? Cheers

Hi,
I've been a member of Oakwood bowmen for around 10 years, Big Stu and Ozzy joined this year. It's a great club but it is nfas so you mayhave to join that organisation to shoot there, but well worth it if for nothing else the laughs and bow talk.
What poundage bow are you going for ? Saw a Osprey bow this weekend looked a nice bow.

 

[Cam Lees]

I normally shoot between 35-40 on a recurve so I've gone for 38@28" also ordered my first wooden arrows which could be entertaining!!!

 

[Cromm]

Nice, you will have to post pictures on here when you get your kit together.

Big Stu and Ozzy joined this year.QUOTE]


Been there 18 months now...

It is a good club with great facitys,

As a GNAS to shoot at a NFAS club you will have to be signed off and Join the NFAS, I am afraid. Most NFAS clubs can do this for you, we at Oakwood normaly run a sign off session, after a taster day, from next year how we are looking at signing off a different way and to bring on borad the new sysbas from NFAS... and to include mebership to Oakwood,

If your intersted in Joining Oakwood, I am the Mebership Seceratary, so can fill you in on how things are done.

18 months ? Jeez how time flies.

 

[Big Stu 12]

Yeah the Ospray looked a nice bow, and seemed to go well when Bob was playing ,

I am still wondering about going back to AFB..

 

[ozzy1977]

Bobs osprey is a nice bow but for me the handle is all wrong as it curves the wrong way

 

[Big Stu 12]

18 months ? Jeez how time flies.

Yeah... you've put up with me that long

 

[ozzy1977]

I have been a member a year now too.

 

[Cromm]

What make of AFB are you looking at Stu ?

 

[Cam Lees]

Thanks Big Stu! Well once I get my self sorted kit wise and Christmas out the way I think I'll take you up on that!

 

[Cromm]
