Saws for Camp and Backpack
Bowhunting Necessities for Australia and New Zealand
About the handiest tool (next to a good hunting knife, of course) that a bowhunter, backpacker, camper or fisher can have on any excursion into the bush is a good sharp camp saw. A small folding saw that may weigh only a few ounces can help you butcher game, construct a shelter, open shooting lanes, clear a campsite, build a maimai, cut firewood, and do about a hundred other little jobs that can make life in the bush easier, safer, and a lot more fun. There are all sorts of these saws available, of course, but here are a few that we have selected for their utility and value and because they are just the thing for bowhunting.
Meyerco Folding Saw
The Meyerco Folding Saw and Sheath is small and compact enough to take on all your bowhunting trips. Yet it is sturdy enough with a course-tooth super-sharp blade to handle all your firewood and camp-site preparation jobs. And it will be invaluable when it comes time to butcher your trophy.
The 420-grade stainless-steel blade has a simple push-button release and locks in both the open and closed position while the hand-filling rubber handle insures a non-slip grip that wont induce fatigue with extended sawing tasks as will saws with thin handles. And the Meyerco Folding Saw is easy to carry in the durable nylon belt sheath.
Overall length is 39 cm with a 16cm blade. Lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.

QUICK TIP
Repairing Twisted Limbs on Recurve Bows
Yes, it is possible to repair even badly twisted limbs on laminated recurve bows. Provided that there are no cracks or delimitations, the following procedure taken from an old archery magazine (with special thanks to http://www.archeryhistory.com ) will usually work. The drawings may be old but the basic techniques work as well as they did in the 1950s, which is about 75% of the time in the NZAP shop.
If you try this, go slowly and avoid overheating the limbs. If it doesn't work the first time, try again with a bit more heat and leave the limb in position overnight (at least) before unclamping it.
