The last time I did popinjay the "birds" were made from bottle cleaner brushes. The handles just get a loop put in them so they can slide on to the prongs. I guess you'll just have to DIY itHello all
Dose anyone know where you can purchase birds and equipment for popinjay archery or if anyone knows the best way to make them. Thanks in advance.
I was a member of that club, we ran Popinjay for several years, but then had problems getting our mast erected safely so it no longer happens, plus the original club no longer exists because of venue problems.when I did research for this for our website this was what I found (as MK1 says)
Modern popinjay is another version of this vertical archery and is included in the GNAS rules. The GNAS Popinjay rules are based on a mast that was made by an enterprising archer from a surplus U.S. Army wireless aerial. This mast is no longer in existence so the rules are somewhat unique! Efforts to track down popinjay in Britain other than the ancient Scottish tradition have unearthed mention of one Club in England that include Popinjay in a 4 discipline Easter shoot each year.[/I]
so in other words get inventive. There is no "proper" way to do things ... in fact do a good job and we'll copy you! Good luck.
Yeah saw it last night. Nicely done, it's a good program that.After cursing the AGB website in another thread, I have just found something useful on it. "Portillo meets the papingo" on BBC 2's Great British Railway Journeys on 5th January.

I'm assuming they are using limited draw weight bows, as it looked to be in a built up area. Prob 30# max I'd guess.
Nice to see the bird knocked down in slo-mo

Nice find Joe. Horizontal is much easier to do as you just wheel it out
Low poundage bows and flu flu's.Just takes a while to find all the arrows afterwards (unless you shoot blunts).
Which is the way we do it at Green Park.Low poundage bows and flu flu's.
