Some footed Elk arrows.....
« on: August 19, 2009, 08:42:00 PM »
G'day all here,

 Well over the last few months I'm been gearing up for my CO Elk hunt. Naturally arrows are needed and I'm made these set up over the last few months whenever I've been home.


 


This set of shafts I did not foot myself this time, these were a gift from my good mate Joseph Myers from MT and he sent them over a year or so back... in fact I think I still owe you some cash too mate...ops! I'll get onto that asap!


Killdeer sent me the Mercury nocks a few months back as well so I owe both these fine Tradgangers a pat on the back for 'un-asked for' gifts... many thanks you pair.


This is the working end of these arrows... a mixture of the new Woodsmans (3), the older model (6), 2 judos for stumping and a Hex head for anything else that'll need a blunting.


 


Sorry for the poor photography... my point and shoot is not as good as my Canon 50D, but I always write a latin quote on all my arrows... both ones for me and others that I build for people.


 


"Whispering Death" is a fitting name for such a hunt I think...


These weigh in at an average of 636 grains and I plan to send 'em though my Black Widow PLX Kingwood T/D. His name is "DaisyCutter" after my love of stumping Daisy's when out hunting. At 66# and my draw of 29.5" I think this combo will be enough to run daylight through any Bull Elk or Mulie that is upwind of me.


 


 


Wish me luck people... I only need one chance... Mr Elk & Mulie will need every chance.

I'm off now to put a mirror edge on some WW's.

If the elk in Colorado aren't worried, they should be.

Good luck, Al.

Awesome job, as always! I am anxious to read about your trip and to see some photos. I wish it was possible that we could meet up face to face while you were here. We've been emailing and swapping stuff for years now. Good luck to you my friend and enjoy your visit to the states. God bless-Mike

Al, you are a true artist.  I never tire of looking at your arrows and you never cease to amaze me.  Good luck on your hunt bud and I look forward to hearing the tales when you return.

Beautiful arrows.   I too will be in the high looking for an elk, or mule deer or bear or turkey.  I am a well DOCUMENTED preditor.

Tremendous Al!

Truth be told - by simply pullin' one of those broadhead tipped wonders out of your quiver- the elk will be stunned by its beauty and you will have all the time you need to make your best shot.

Have a great hunt in Colorado!  We will be anxious to learn of your adventures!  Word on the street is you've got one the best elk guides out there!
