Australian warbow enthusiasts?

[cadet]

Any Australian warbow enthusiasts here?  I've seen and emailed these folks: http://warbowaustralia.weebly.com/index.html , but I'm not sure how active they are...
It'd be good to share ideas and knowledge with others about local conditions, materials, supplies etc.
Ta.

Edit:
Aaand it seems they've got an incorrect email address on their website, and the owner of that address would like them to change it!

If you're on Facebook, get in touch with Justin Webb, he's a cracking bloke and shoots and makes heavy warbows.  Also while not strictly that close, the best group you'll find is in NZ, the "English War Bows NZ" guys.  They make and shoot some exceptional bows and really know their stuff.

Thanks for that.

There're a couple on the forum of www.ozbow.net, and they use native woods too.

G'day Cadet,

I'm a very keen warbow enthusiast up here in South East QLD, could very well be one of the blokes Dave was referring to on Ozbow as well.  I post a lot of the bows I make and shoot on there.

Where  abouts are you located in the country?

Cheers,

Colin

I reckon we might have seen each other on ozbow, Colin!  I'm in central Vic.  You're likely to find some like-minded folks here re EWBs
Haven't forgotten about those elm saplings, just have a heap of other stuff to work through, along with a family and a real job in the real world!  But I will cut some soon.

Thought it was one and the same "cadet" 

Plenty of folks on here on some Fb groups I'm in as well and all keen on Warbows.

If you're on FB have a look for English Warbows QLD (Aust)... its a new group I've started to get some active warbow shooters doing things around the country.  Love to see footage of guys shooting, gear, targets etc go up on it for all to see.

Justin runs Aus warbow society on fb and from what I've heard its pretty much dead. I was a member but was removed by the admins without a legit reason. But they don't hold any events nor do they keep any form of records that I am aware of. 

Sooner you can cut the staves the sooner you can put a bend in them mate  always keen to see what folks are making around Aus with the woods we can get.
