Number one antelope arrow
« on: July 29, 2021, 07:30:51 PM »
Back in the early 1970's a friend received some old archery "stuff". I don't remember if someone had died or what, anyway he gave me a handful of footed shafts that were made back in the 1940's, they are nearly as old as me. Last winter while organizing some of my shafts I ran across them and thought one of them would be perfect to use on my next antelope hunt. I had to sand it some to get the spine within range then I tapered it an painted it up some and fletched it with wild turkey feathers that I dyed. I hope I get a good shot to put it to the test.

Nice Jack!  They look like a HH arrow I received years ago.

Jack,
Those are nice!  See you are still using the Eclipse broadhead.
The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Thanks guys, only 2 more weeks. I have been going to the same place since 1999. We go the first week every other year. We have a great bunch of guys really have fun. Even if the Gods don't smile on you, you will have a great time. I am so looking forward to the trip this year.
