    Archery meet - near Wishaw - 11th April

    I've put this in the diary but can't say 100% I can make it. If coming I can bring a couple of flatbows and recurve. Plus a butt and a big bag target.

    what have you been up to ?

    Well most recently I have been fixing a load of plumbing issues in the house and re tiling the shower but I guess that is not what you meant :) I have made a larger leather journal cover with a Celtic knotwork logo to be used as a proper journal. It has a pen holder that holds my good fountain...

    Transering US dollars out of Paypal

    In the future you can still get him to pay you by paypal but get him to pay you in GBP that we he takes the hit for the conversion. I am sure you can set your paypal account to restrict the currencies you will accept.

    Transering US dollars out of Paypal

    Convert it to GBP first then just withdraw as normal. I do not have a paypal screen open right now but I remember the converting being a faff as well.

    Stitching Pony vs Stitching Clam

    I use one Warthog1981 made me It makes hand stitching so much easier I would rate it as one of the top pieces of kit for hand stitching. For Leather journals etc it saves a huge amount of time. When I have made wet formed bags there are times you can't use the clamp and I need to balance...

    Field/Hunting bows - a review

    I see Santa was good to you after all. I was sure I was going to shoot take down recurves when I started looking into archery but I seem to have settled for the moment on 68" American Flatbows. I have two now both Vipers one at 45# and one at 55#. I got the 45# as the 55# was too heavy for me...

    I've had a reply. They can do the correct netting but it is more expensive. They are doing me a revised quote. Once I have it I will post updated details.

    SOTP running slow today ?

    Was fine for me when I was on this morning and again when I was on a little while ago. Are you getting an error or is it just really slow?
