When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.
The brain said, "I should be boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions."
The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry us all about and get us to where we want to go."
The hands said, "We should be the boss because we do all the work and earn all the money."
And so it went on and on with the heart, the lungs, and the eyes until finally the ******** spoke up.
All the parts laughed at the idea of the ******** being the Boss. Then the ******** went on strike. It squeezed its nozzle shut and refused to work.
Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that the ******** should be the boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the boss just sat and passed out ****!
Moral of the story: You don't need brains to be a boss - any ******** will do...

Hi Glen
That is a hot looking pace of equipment. I love it!! How much for one and when can you get it to me? When I get my new Bowtech I will post a pic.
Chris
Glen, mate that is one fine looking bow....Did you make it??
That's one of the bows I make, I am not making bows for the time being as I got tangled up with a fire in a house I was renovating and my ute and all of ny tools went with it, so I don't have much to work with at present, but I will start building bows again later in the year.... Glenn...

I have to agree with the others Glenn , that is a beautiful bow mate. Just curious how long it takes to make such an artwork and what you sell them for?
Cheers, Cam
Thanks a lot for the comments everybody. I sell those bows with the laminated laminations under the clear glass for $800.00, it's a lot of work to make one of them. But at present I'm not making bows for the time being, will start up again later in the year when I have replaced my tools...Glenn...

I hope you wern't at full draw when it let go :shock:
pete - that perks bow looks ALOT like my martin mamba - especially in the riser area. is it a copy of the mamba design?
I hope you wern't at full draw when it let go
Hood, Nah mate thank god...could have been messy if i was.
Brian, I'm not really sure if its a copy of the Mamba, it does look a bit like it though.

19-08-05, 05:51 PM
Well Coach each to there own.I like the Oneida because it hasn't got the hard cam most fast wheelie bows have and it doesn't hurt my lower back when I draw it.
After I get the lad his Browning I want another 45-50lb longbow so I can keep my hand in with the traditional stuff.

Always liked the Oneidas, might have to buy one one day.
I think they look funky and they certainly get credit for being different from the crowd.
I shot and Aero force x80 for years, it was the best to draw and shoot bow I have ever shot, but these days they are over rated, the Mathews and BowTech have it all over the them, nearly as smooth to draw and just as sweat to shoot, as far as hand shock goes, but the newer Oneidas are all to nosey. And still too many moving parts IMO.
I was in NZ one year and I fell into a creek, (I fair full of 2 metres) and I landed on my bow, which pushed the top limb totally out of alignment, it was pointing some 45 degrees to one side! I nearly cried, but a bow the bow between my legs and grabbed the limb and straighten it back to it ordinal position, and whala it was fixed, and to it credit I tested it again and it still shot straight!
So now every time I hunt the mountains I take one with me to fall on since there so nice and soft! Nah not really the aero force x80 is a boat anchor too, way to heavy.
See ya Pete.

20-08-05, 04:50 PM
Have to disagree with you about the noise of the new bows Pete,both mine are as quiet as.I shoot a 6.5gn/lb arrow and very happy with performance.But as I shoot barebow I don't rely on speed to help me hit the target.I love the forgiveness of the Oneida and the smooth draw and I also like to be different from the majority.
I cop heaps from the wheelie guys but the score at the end of the days shooting sorts them out.Only been back shooting since May and shooting Masters scores at ABA,so I am happy.

This is my wifes bow, a little Senaca. Hopefully in a few weeks she will be getting a bigger bow as this is maxed out at 25#. We thought about just getting new limbs, but she found out we could get her a new bow and have it custom powder coated. So it looks like the new bow it will be.

Coach,
You do have great eyesight :D :D, and you are absolutely right, the cables are crossed over. But if I put them back on the correct side of the guide the cable slide keeps falling off and making the wife mad as He**. (The cables are very loose). I was going to order new cables (thinking these were worn out), but the archery shop told me they were good, just a common problem in such low poundage bows. I have ordered a new type of cable guide that will allow me to put the cables where they are supposed to be but it just isnt here yet. As soon as it is here I will fix it. But soon she will have a new bow and she will forget all about this one.

And my redwing hunter 55lb @ 28in
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v468/chrisdaz/RedWing1.jpg
Owen, the two sets of "whiskers" on the cables were on there when i got the bow from PHANTOM. they look like they are made from the strands on the inside of an "Occy" strap, and are attached with cable-ties. I don't know if they make any difference, but they aren't hurting anyone, so i left them on there.
I only knew you needed 'em for the string, but what the heck, if i get any more on there, I'll have my own camo built into the bow! :D
And yes Sparra, i do have fairly long arms. Handy for basketball, bad for buying shirts or bows.
You know how they say that your height is supposed to be the same as the measurement of your outstretched arms from the end of your middle finger to the one on the other hand?
Well my height is 195cm (6 foot 5), and my "wingspan" is 203cm. (6 foot 8 and a bit) :shock:
I can't figure it out. But a mate of mine is 189cm tall (6 foot 3) and he has the same "wingspan" as me. Mind you, he has no hair on the back of his knuckles, it all rubs off from his hands dragging along on the ground when he walks. :wink:
Puk 8)
Chris, the Bowtech looks the goods. Is it nice and light? It looks like it would be.
The Redwing is a smooth looking bow too. Does it start to stack at your draw-length? As i remember, you drew about 30 or 31 inches?
Puk 8)
Puk
I find the Bowtech to be of a medium Wight, not to heavy to lug around all day. The red wing is a very nice bow, it dose not stack as my draw length is 29.5 on the compound and about 28.5 for the curve.
Chris
Sorry mate i had that wrong.
I just remembered the bow you sold that friend of mine being about 31 inches, so that's what threw me.
