Did they come from the "Bow Hut". I think that is the name. Back in the 80's I ordered a Bow Hut catalog and it had alot of Kittredge stuff in it.

bswldturkey,
 Those are cool arrows you have.I just sent Doug Kittredge founder of Bow Hunt an old brochure he wrote on makine arrows and he signed it.Would be cool to get some of those arrows signed.
 Would you sell any of them ? If so i would have the rest of the batch signed and sent back to you.

Tom Phillips, I have the same brochure. I still look at it from time to time. Mine came with a doz. DYI woods. I still have some of them I hunted with in 1973. He started me on 2020 alum. the following year. I even have one of those wooden nickels he used to send out to get folks to reorder.
Those were some great times in archery.

The Kittredge Bow Hut Catalog was my dream book back in the early/mid 60's.  Great little piece of history you have there, Brad.    :thumbsup:

Bought a lot of stuff from Doug back in the seventies and later from Bill Krenz when he was the Bow Hut manager. Great guys to deal with-brought back a lot of memories.       Grant
