I just went out on this georgious morning to take a few pics of the brother to the 3 arrows I entered.  Only thing different is that the broadhead on this one was made by Woody Blackwell, and man is that guy great at what he does.  I can only hope to be as good as his throw aways.  

I decided to try my hand at hafting it on a shaft, so why not test my abilities, and use the arrow it was going on as a test dummy.  I think I did just OK.  Woody does a much better job than I can.  

The 3 arrows I entered had 145 grain Eclipse heads on them.  I like those heads so much, they are going to accompany me to Hawaii this fall to go hunting.  Now I just need to figure out some arrows for the hunt.

Anyway, here are the pics I just took...

Incredible artwork. Well done.
I don't think anyone would be too proud to "Robin Hood" one of those beauties!
Best for looking at, I guess.

The pictures on page 3 are what most of my hunting arrows look like, minus the stone head.  I enjoy making arrows and even squirrel hunts get special arrows for them.

I'll bet even your stumpers are way better than my best hunters.

Nice work Mike. Got your voicemail.    :thumbsup:
