Bow string now sorted. Sharki is the man, explained in 5min on the phone what would have taken me a looong time to figure out. Ended up making a diy bow string jig and string serving tool, used 80lb...

Thanks for the replies, I'll PM you Sharki. The middle bit is made from a piece of fencing rail (pine), but yeah, think I'll wear safety glasses next time... The purpose (apart from why not) was to...

Looking that up now, could be a go if I can figure it out, cheers

I've been making a diy bow and arrow with my boys these school holidays and the string component has become a problem. The bow is a recurve design using cut down snow skis, measures around 45lb to...

DPT have been good in my experience with 223, 308, 44mag, and 22lr and I haven't heard of any failing

Anyone got some interesting trapping pics to share? Here's a good sized possum caught on Mt Egmont virtual barrier showing that a good high set in kiwi country still does the business, and a ferret...

I dropped a roadkill hawk off to DOC a few years ago. They were going to test it for brodifacoum to see if secondary poisoning was happening then give it to local iwi (maybe for feathers?)

Saw mention of Lake Waikare, I havent lived in Waikato for 10 years but the outlet by the control gates has a fish pass that acts as a koi trap if its still set up the same. Pic was from a good shoot...
