BOB SWINEHART
« on: June 26, 2010, 10:02:00 PM »
Does anyone know what colors Bob Swinehart shot on his arrows? I am pretty sure he shot microflights but I cannot find any picture with color to see his fletching. Also, I am looking for some microflights in #10 or bigger. I may have some smaller sizes to swap with.
Thanks,
Chuck

I'll check my stock    I did have a  bunch of #11s  but not sure what I have now.  I'm sure I dont have any 12s   but may have some 9s too  
 If I have some I'll PM.  I know  Swinehart  used Glass in africa on some game he also did use some forgewoods back then too.

This pic of Bob shooting a Bushmaster bow shows an assortment of fletchings.  Can't tell what shafts but were probably micro-flite and/or forgewoods...Van

Great pic Van! Does anyone else get tingles imagining that moment - not to mention the nerve to shoot a Cape Buffalo point blank with a bow? WOW!

Looking forward to the pics Chuck. Great looking bow I saw a Compton in Steve's booth.
