Well, the hunt with my bud fell thru.

So I headed out to one of my favorite spot here close to home.It's right by a hole in a fence that the deer use to get across a road.....

 

My shot should come from here...

 

But it was a balmy 70 degrees when I hit the woods at about 3:30.And the moon is about full,so I wasn't expecting much.But I still had some hope because I had some white oaks that were dropping around me.

This is the arrow that's "bound for glory"...As mentioned earlier,made by Jsog last year...

 

On the pointy end is a broadhead from my first bunch I bought when I started shooting trad back in '86.You can see they're altered Zwickey deltas.Blades were ground off to make them easier to sharpen for me back in the day.Only 3 that I know exist from this batch.One is in a broadhead frame made by "Littlefeather" for St. Judes.That broadhead killed my first trad buck,a 7pt back in '87.Now owned by Jsog.#2 is in my curio downstairs,it was used to kill a 4x4 bull elk in Colorado in '87.And this one.......

 

Well...didn't see a thing Had a good wind,just wasn't anything really moving much I guess.Did take a shot at a light colored leaf (the one by the grip)before I got down...........bingo!

Curt, What a coincidence!!! I had a dozen cedar arrows with 4 blade Zwickey broadheads on them given to me back in 1977. I couldn't get them sharp to save my life SO... I ground off the bleeder blades and TaDa!!!!!!! Razor Sharp 2 blades!!! Good Luck on your Journey My Brother!!! May the Great Spirit guide your arrows!!!

Happy Hunting!!!   Chuck

SWEEEEEET!!!! Your name fits you well! Guess it's time to get rid of your "curve" and stick with a selfbow. Next one you shoot should be with stone.

 Congrats! NOW LETS SEE SOME PICS!!  :readit:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:
