Finally thought I'd chuck up some of my stuff,its by no means the best gear or the greatest collection,nor are these photos my full collection,but its all good solid use able gear. I'll add up more photos of individual pieces if there's interest and if I've got time. Also as I find or buy them. Hope you like it :-) Attachments:

Here's a couple of homemade jobs,pretty ugly but they both work well. The axe was double headed but I didn't really like the look of it after I cut the handle down Attachments:

My frankenbow,a mid 80's martin fire cat riser fitted with mid 90's xrg limbs and early 2000 dynacams :-) its 55# and has a 31" draw and I mainly use it for bow fishing,but its more than capable as a hunting bow Attachments:

My main hunting bows. The top one is a Sammick Deer master I originally bought for my partner that I fit 55# limbs to. The other one is my first longbow,its a Martin ml-10 that got dubbed the wytchstyk after a particularly successful got hunting trip. A couple of years ago I took the plunge and turned it into a take down. Its 75#@29.5" and doesn't get a lot of use nowadays. Attachments:

Ha ha the running joke amongst my friends is "if the zombie apocalypse does happen we're coming to your place!". The other running joke,and my own tenet,is that nothing you buy is just right for you,you always have to play with it to get it the way you want :-)

Here's my 2 Chinese eBay bows paid a total of $200 for both. The red one is 61#@29.5" and the yellow one is 74#@29.5", although I think its losing poundage a bit. Great bows for the price Attachments:

My spears. Left to right windlass leaf blade,CS assegai modified,and windlass hewing spear. I absolutely love the hewing spear, I'm not sure on the leaf blade though. And the assegai is a serious beater which I've practiced with a lot and I have taken out hunting Attachments:

A couple of "tactical" knives,Chinese made SOG dagger and a UC Honshu kerambit. Neither are the best knives in the world but they have their place. Actually the kerambit I really like,the only other one I like as much is the CS steel tiger. Attachments:
