Vintage Arrows and Arrows that Look like Vintage Arrows

I see that Frank. Glad you joined the "best bow" gang!

Frank, here's a thread that goes into quite a bit of detail on mounting bear 4 arrow quivers.  Ron's method looks really slick.  Maybe he'll chime in with his method also.

Kenny, I think those arrows are from the 70s.  I'll check the CD later this eve.

Hi guys,

I'm a day sleeper...just woke up.    :confused:  

My quiver is attached w/leather pads to protect the bow finish and leather staps w/ velcro sewn on. Pretty cool!      
I can't take credit for thr idea, came with the bow when I bought it, but I really like them.

Hope this helps Frank:

 

 

 

Kenny, as for the arrows, I'm not certain- but they were priced at only $19.95, so they were were awhile back for sure! I'm sure Trap will find them on the CD, if not I will try and find out.

I liked the leather/velcro setup so much when you first posted, I had a friend in the upholstry business make up a set.
They look fantastic, but they slipped from the vibration of shooting. I've been using stretchy rubber arm tourniquets with better success lately. No slipping but they are UGLY! will cover them with camo tape for hunting.
Will get some pics up in a couple days.

Kenny,

From looking at the Bear Catalog CD, I'd say the yellow fletched arrows are mid to late 70s vintage.

Thanks for the reply Trap....

Thanks Trap.

Brad,

You are correct, and I failed to mention I had the same problem at first. I took 2 small bands of  bicycle inner tube (about the same width as my leather straps) and slid them on my bow UNDER where the leather pads went to provide some extra gripping power.

Once I placed the straps over the quiver pads and tubing, the whole assembly remained much more stable. It also allowed me to to tighten it down tighter and easier than before.

The pics I posted were taken BEFORE this was done. Sorry.        

Trap...Thanks for the research, Bud!

Yeah Ron, I think I'll barge cement a strip of this tourniquet rubber to the inside of the straps and pads. Glad to hear it works, because they look so good!!!

Reddogge,

Your lower set of arrows are most beautiful. I like that muted color tone you have going on there.

I agree with Trapp ... arrows sure are eye candy. You can have two guys shooting the same bow but you better have your own personality coming out in your "signature" arrows!

One of my good hunting companions worked at a shop in Fairbanks, Alaska as a kid for a man named John Dodge. John was considered to be one of the best arrow smiths of all time. He made a limited set of "Grand Slam" arrow cases to represent each wild sheep species. My friend has the entire set and when you lay your eyes on these arrows, its dang near spiritual. I will try to did up some photos of this set for all to see. I know that Paul Brunner from the old Screaming Eagle catalog had a set because I saw them pictured on the wall in his catalog.

Here is a pic of two self nocked arrows I made and  another with a custom burned parabolic, my signature shape.
