Anyone loose this......? pic
« on: February 03, 2007, 10:18:00 PM »
Hi all,

 Well I've been away out west with work and I always like to have my Widow T/D with me so to keep my eye in and muscles keen.

 I went out stumping and looking for a wabbit or two that may be wanting to see up close what a judo looks like, when I found this...

 

 By the writing on it, its a golf ball from the US air force. Kinda strange place for it to be in western Queensland, Australia...  :rolleyes:  

 As I think Golf is a strange game this ball lead me to a few hours of shooting fun.

 IN Oz, alan

Not me. I don't slice them anywhere near that bad.

AKDan, these shafts are made by Mr Burton from Whispering Wind. I think the pic makes 'em look longer han they are. Also there 5" wings, I'm sure of it.

Maybe that's the ball they smacked off of the space station.  :)

Stumping  with footed shafts?  :scared:  
Australia must be made of softer rocks than we have here!  :coffee:

I find them often at one place I hunt (and give them to friends who golf) but to find one way "outback" (pun intended) like that is a REAL find. Neat!

Maybe it was hit off a cruise ship?

I have been on a few cruises and most of them have a little golf range set up someplace on the ship. LOTS of balls make it into the drink. Either way a neat find.

I was really hoping you had picture of my brain. It seems to be missing lately.

Golf is an aweful sport (IMO), so this gives me a great reason to use the golf balls I have lying out in the garage.

I can't help but think of the Robin Williams bit about drunken Scotts thinking up the game of golf. Funny stuff.

Killdeer,
I have been using Bob's footed shafts for hunting and stump shooting the past three years and only broken one arrow, that's a lot better the any other arrows I have tried, including carbons.  I have found it the most cost effective way to stump shoot.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Yeh Killy It seems a waist but as these were a gift from my Montana mate Joseph, his words were to me..... "Hell, just shoot 'em!", so I am.
