The classic Black Palm and Hairy Oak combo never fails to please. 😎😊

One Black Palm riser core ready to go 👍🏽🙂

Well I’m supposed to be still doing building work but my offsider is injured so I’m getting a start on the next bow. Kicking off with another Black Palm riser core. This one is Foxtail Palm which has a larger more couse grain but also has more contrast going on.

SOUND ON.
So this is how you drop your brand new Flatline bow 😬😂😂😂.
This is my mate’s better half about 6 arrows in after receiving her bow.
It was several years ago and of course the bow is still going strong. It didn’t even get a scratch from bouncing across the concrete.
And people spin out when I drop them on the lawn 😜.

Here it is. Though I can’t shoot it properly because it is designed for a much shorter draw length than my outrageous 32”s and it is 9 pounds too heavy for me. So I’m not particularly accurate with it but it sure spits them out.
And just for interest sake, the palm in the background is an Australian Black Palm, (Normanbya normanbia) one of several I planted in my yard from seed gathered from a harvested palm about 14 years ago.

Finally managed to get this Elite collection Shrike finished 😃.
I gotta admit I’m a little proud of it. It turned out exactly as I envisioned it, maybe even better 😊.

It’s for a good friend of mine so I have added a little of my soul and a lot of our beautiful country’s soul to it 🇦🇺🦘.

We have named it ‘The Protector’ which is a reference to the animals pictured in the artwork, just some of the native animals the bow is intended to protect by reducing the number of feral animals we have in Australia.
For those who don’t know, we are not allowed to hunt any native wildlife in Australia, (except dingos for some reason 🙄 🤷🏽‍♂️). We can only hunt feral animals.

Went fishing yesterday, had a great day and even got a few fish that the sharks gratuitously let us have 🙄.
The sky treated us to this incredible sunset on the way home. No filters, it was just like that, only way better 😉😍.

It’s not all bows 😉.
My son and I head up the hill most days for an hour or two to ride and work on our mountain bike trail. And we are getting a little help with it now because some young fellas discovered it and asked if they could help build it 😃. It’s a ‘build it and they will come’ situation 😎👍🏽. The young guys are very keen and we are making good progress now.
The ridge we working our way up now has a lot of Rose Sheoak trees on it and we may have to cut down the occasional one, but they won’t be wasted 😜😁.

I think these will blend very nicely with the riser 😎😊.

Anyone notice that the guy getting this bow is a SUBSCRIBER, hint hint 😜.
