Port oxford Cedar.  Ace hex heads.  Stained blaze orange so that I can find them in the rare case that I miss.  Yea right!    [/IMG]

I've been wanting to see these ever since you mentioned them in the last squirrel arrow thread...

nothing too fancy, but I think they will get the job done.  I've got a dozen of them.

I've been getting back into squirrel hunting the past few years.  Once deer season is over, I go nuts.  Sure there is plenty of scouting to do, but I prefer to do this at the end of Feb. and early march.  Squirrels are FUN!

By the way....I actually made those hex heads.  I worked for ACE archery for a bit when I first moved back to North eastern Illinois.

Those are too pretty for squirrels. A lot of my small game arrows don't even have matching feathers. I do like the hex heads. I try to refrain from shooting them skyward, although sometimes in the heat of the moment I forget.  :knothead:    Squirrel hunting/stumping is a great way to extend the season. Pretty good eating too.

Reddogge, I mean I actually worked at ACE archery where they manufacture these heads.  I made a bunch while working with the owner, and still have some!  Great heads for small game.

Nice - can't see the heads though.

I use flu flu's for most anything besides big game (rabbits and under)especially if they are tree bound. I hate looking skyward and thinking this arrow could go 270 yards...hmmm where will it land...hmm

Yea I know Jason, but this is just the first batch!  I'm going to make a bunch more.  Hardly anyone hunts squirrels anymore and the areas I hunt are full of them.  I'm going to need tons of arrows.....or I just have to get better at shooting them!
