photos of my stuff available via pm and just to clarify am only looking for something so so basic as long as its primarily glass fibre just make an offer you may well be very surprised cant emphasise how much am wanting one of these. and am certainly willing to offer multiple items in trade for a half decent bow. cheers guys..

I have one that I assume is fibreglass. It was a training bow from a school. Condition wise it is very good. It does not have a huge draw weight mind you. To be honest with you though I do not have many wants left though.

Things I am looking forthough consist of:

A Wildwood stove
An Arctic sleeping bag (long)
A camp knife
A camp axe
Hard anodized cooking pots


If I can think of anything else I will let you know.

hi guys I said I had some nice catties well just thought id put a couple up on here.
I would add photos of the other stuff im offering but as you can see from the photos here my camera phone may as well have a lens made of chewing gum. so please excuse the quality of the photos they are just to give an idea of the catties.
both of these are in mint condition and the one with the rosewood handle. comes with two spare band sets but this one can take other band types.

please note I am really aching to sort a bow out and am happy/ more than happy to combine multiples of the items on offer for a bow and for one which really grabs me perhaps a short hunter bow or even an American flat bow id give a greater number or even all the items ive got
ps still looking for a gransfors bruks wildlife hatchet and would be happy to trade multiples of these items for one of those either
photos of the other items available on request cheers guys.

just tried making a pvc pipe bow following a youtube video step by step and as is my fashion I made a right mess of it. then watched the video again when the bow was shot through a crony the power dropped off at each shot. so perhaps its good It didn't work anyway. so still looking guys and now ive added frustration at myself to my search. :(

photos can be sent to you via pm please note multiple items will be offered for the right bow but I would not for example trade this lot listed above for a very basic trainer bow. but if I was offered a niceamerican flatbow or horsebow or a 3 piece field bow then Christmas will come early for you. cos remember there isstill the other items on this listing further down the thread.
also am still very interested in a gransfor bruks wildlife hatchet.. cheers guys
