Potent Elk Medecine?....or effective SOS if needed!
« on: March 17, 2009, 11:13:00 AM »
Hey all,

Getting antsy and pumped up for my hunt with "Elkherder" this fall. Started making up some arrows last night. Figured I might be able to use them as an SOS signal if I get lost   :bigsmyl:

 

 

 

CX Heritage 250's cut 29"; 100 gr, brass insert and 150 gr. Magnus Stinger 4 bld. and 5" shield feathers.  Never used the wraps before---thought I'd try a couple and see how they turn out!

SWWWeeeeetttt,
I went to Colorado last fall, and
only saw one cow.
Both arrows look good,
clean, and bloddy.

Alrighty then, some more elk medicine

AD hammerheads 30" Brass insert, 225 grain snuffer and 245 gr Eclipse.  Come this september they will likely all carry 260 gr snuffers this year...
 

70# @29.75" :-)   caribow
 

everything together in its element.
 

Got the arrows from Ted, the Bow here in the classifieds and you'll have to get to know me real well to find out where that bull came from...:-)
