Bowhunter Unlimited

[Marcus]

Been thinking of messing around in this division for a while. I shoot target and don't know much about it. What are the rules in ABA for this class? Including arrow weight restrictions etc.
thanks.

[Eberbachl]

ABA rules for this division comply with the IFAA Bowhunter Unlimited division, namely a bow can be set up with a sight which has up to five fixed pin sights. These are not allowed to be moved during a tournament. The bow is also not allowed to have a level installed. Stabilizer length is restricted to 12 inches in total, and release aids may be used. There are not any restrictions on arrow weight such as the 50lb rule for barebow which states any bow over 50lb must be shooting minimum 125 grain feild points and a minimum total fletching of 12 inches. I believe though that they have adopted the IFAA 300FPS speed limit for all bows. (I'm not 100% sure on this last bit, but belive it to be the case) Does anybody know any more about the speed limit rule?

More (official) information regarding equipment divisions can be found at www.ifaa-archery.com

Ah, so I could shoot 60# with an over draw and 20 ACE arrows.
Need a smiley face for "evil grin"

300fps, damn it, that means it could come down to talent! :eek

[Marcus]

meant to be 20 inch ACE arrows, jus need one for he round.

[Eberbachl]

20 inch ACE's at 60lbs :eek That is wicked! Your bow manufacturer will love your warranty claims!!! ha ha!

Just testing the new Edit function!

[Marcus]

I havn't done it yet, just an evil plan! Need to get cash to buy the equipment, have the ACE arrows at home, but want a simple PSE to shoot. My current Mach 5 is not really fast enough, nor do I want to mess with the tuning.
Ah warrenties were made to be broken! ;)

[PSE_SNIPER]

Marcus you ass are you calling me simple?? :P :lol: :wink: :evil:

[Marcus]

Don't forget the "No Neck" rule :D

[OldDog]

[2Dogs]

Well if MArcus would be good enough to put a spell checker into the forum it wouldn't be a problem wouldn't it :lol: :lol:

[Tony Knight]

Did not know you had to get rid of your neck to shoot pins and realease thought that came with the bare bow ABA game knuckle draging. :lol:

[Eberbachl]

[Marcus]

Paul, don't throw this back on me!

I'm looking at joining ABA next month, I better buy a FWD and start drinking beer huh? Better learn to shoot in an Acubra hat too!

[Eberbachl]

OMG I have to admit I drive a 4WD and drink beer!!!

:D

[OldDog]

Dont forget the ugh boot quiver the three bowie knives and the high top green canvas jungle boots :D :D

[Steve B]

Hmmmmm...like you Luke I am afraid I must be out of touch with what all the other ABA archers use,wear,do and look like, maybe I should come and drink tea and eat biscuits with the AA/AV guys
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Eberbachl]

Oh yes Steve B, we have lovely cups of tea, and scrummy bisbuits with the target folk at DVA every Sunday afternoon... :lol:

[Marcus]

where we tell yarns and share tales of memories past.

[Eberbachl]

Tally ho! men.....very Exquisite :lol:

[Eberbachl]

Personally, I just love the Summer Rose.... :D

Exquisite rose blossoms in
burgundy and soft pink on trailing
ivy vines cover the body of this
stylish English tankard style teapot.
The contrast of the rich colors are striking against the creamy white background. A lustrous gold trim decorates the spout, handle and lid
and forms a criss cross pattern
along the sides of the teapot adding
a touch of elegance!
Functional; earthenware teapot......

:lol: bwaaahhaaa!!!!!! :lol:

[OldDog]

Does it come with matching cups and saucers :roll:

[OldDog]

And as an afterthought can you drink beer out of it :D

[GaryH]

I actually would have thought this would be a good crossover for both the ABA & AV guys. :lol: :lol: :o

Not to sure though just what that monkey is doing to the pot :P :lol: :P

[Eberbachl]

Aaaarrgghhh ....GaryH - what are you saying ABA guys do with Monkeys?

...Great idea Noel, I'll bring the cups and saucers...

http://www.he-and-she.com/jpimg/521-104.jpg

....and you bring the beer :lol:

Who said ABA and AA can't mix? We just proved it! Beer out of a tea cup! BWAAAHHHAAAHHAAAA!!! :lol:

[OldDog]

Good one Luke it cracked me up :D :D :D

[OldDog]

We could show another sign of solidarity by cutting the teacake with a throwing axe :o

[Marcus]

This raises another question. If AA shooters are Tea-Drinkers and ABA shooters are Knuckledraggers, what are 3DAAA shooters? (and please don't say 'cool' or 'the best' etc)

[OldDog]

Tea drinking knuckle draggers with a fetish for rubber animals :o

[2Dogs]

So how come you don't have a 3D sheep??????

Suppose vandalism of the target would be problem.

I could see Bradshaw & Perlo fightin over who would go first :wink:.....and Teelow waitin in the background for his turn......cause he's always Third in the cue :lol: :lol: :lol:

[ADAM RICHARDS]

Teelow would love to have 3D sheep targets,because he would get his best shot :lol: off on it, the only trouble is, it wouldn't be in the 10!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


P.S You would always know when Teelow set the 3D couse up,because the sheep would always be at a cliffs edge. :o :o :o and all through the bush you can hear Teelow saying back up,back up you bitch !!!!! :wink: :wink: :wink:

[2Dogs]

Noel,

Feel free to do some distance estimation on Adam on the weekend.

Want to borrow my rangefinders :lol:

[OldDog]

Hey Mallyn I,m not the one who moved 400Kms to live in the heart of sheep country, (and keep away from my ugh boots you deviate) :lol: :lol: :lol:
