Rob,

I have Grizzly and Tusker Concord Single bevel BHDs in the weight range you're looking for and I'll even sharpen them for you. If you prefer double bevel, I'll sharpen any of the heads mentioned in the above posts (or any others) if the donor will send them to me for you. Are you shooting wood, aluminum or carbon shafts? I'll also intall/spin-test the adapters if you need them.

Let me know,

Ron

hey all i finally got confirmation on my hunt. it will be from jan 4th to the 8th of jan. my dad and i will be heading out jan 2nd and stop over night then make our way to hamilton county outfitters on the 3rd so we will be rested and ready to do some hunting. my pop went to the ducks unlimited banquet last fall and drug me along and we won a fishing trip and spent this morning chasing strippers catfish and even a large mouth bass. we hit the water at 7 am and were back limited out before 10am, not bad for a cripple and an 82 year old lol. without my dad i wouldn't get to go hunting as i am on a cane and he does the work carrying things for the blind. he became my hunting partner after my mom died in 2000. we don't have big place only 20 acres that my sister and her husband have so this trip to hamilton county is like going out of country for us and i know will be a great time whether i get a big buck or not. the people putting on the hunt greg and jackie are amazing people. when the hunt happens i promise will have some pics whether i am successful in the field or not.
again thanks to everyone for stepping up and helping out i am very blessed
i am glad you like the bow ferd he make some great looking bows and i have shot one before and it was quieter and smoother than any compound i ever shot when i could shoot one lol
god bless

bowferd i sent another pic of my bow.

Beautiful bow. What are you using for a quiver? Why don't you list the things you still need? Thanks for your service brother.
