Thumped one with my thunder child (thanks John Rook)
« on: April 28, 2011, 03:06:00 PM »
Last month I got a call from my friend John Rook being that he’s blind he called  to ask if I could take an inch off of his cedars  and  taper them for him  I said no problem .A couple of weeks later I showed up at johns with his quiver and woodies cut to size as he asked. Before I left john wanted to know how he could repay me for this favor I said being your friend was enough .But then I said john can I have one of your arrows with a Broadhead I’ d like to use it this spring for turkey. John couldn’t of been happier to oblige and I told him that I would return with a good story about his arrow.

Excellent work thump.  That turkey is sharp looking, but that arrow is even sharper.  Love the splicing.
