Broke my first Cedar arrow today....ahhh the scent.

That is one advantage to not having a monster draw. Us short draw people have a wide variety of cedar spines that work for us.  I have a mixture of blunts, I cannot remember the exact spine of them all, the net length ones fly the same as the ones that are bop a 1/2" past the bow.  I was out stump shooting/turkey scouting and found what was left of my Sabor climbing tree stand.  The climber/seat was gone the hand nuts were gone the safety strap was cut off laying under the spring foliage in the leaves, I had nuts tightened down under the hand nuts to make it harder to steal, it was obviously stolen by a compound hunter that cut across a deep ravine once with a crescent wrench in his pocket, he was obviously shocked when he saw me. Later I called in a jake, no shot.  Picked out a hump 40 yards out where the jake came, shot it with a blunt and wham. A rock, sniffed the arrow and reminded myself that this about adventure. I have less respect for my fellow hunter than ever. I will be going back to hunting the way that has always worked for me, still hunting with a back quiver full of cedar arrows, stump shooting or shooting at small game when I feel the urge to gamble an arrow and enjoying the return of the fragrance of adventure when one breaks. If the wheelie nerds don't like it, tough, I will be on my feet and on the move with a quiver full of nice quiet, pleasant smelling cedars.
