Bamboo from Benjy
« on: September 16, 2012, 03:01:00 PM »
Earlier this year Benjy was kind enough to send me some bamboo to make arrows with. He also sent pictures of some that he made. Mine are not as nice as Benjy's, but I hope to make some better ones next year( he sent me a large supply). Thanks Benjy>  :thumbsup:

Thanks Matt. I've had enough advice and mentoring this year to feel confident. Now I need a deer to cooperate. Have a great season too!

You did a good job making those arrows. I have not made any in a while, just been to busy!

You have made some cool looking equipment, hopefully a deer will cooperate for you very soon!

Benjy MOJO!!! no fair.
whats his number????

Truth is Mike,with all the MOJO you have in your gear this year, You should tear it up in the woods. The Asbells, Pearl Drumms, Black hawk, KHalverson,and more AND now Benjy.
The woods will tremble when you walk in.
And I hope they do for you. Good luck,

Those are some mighty fine looking arrows. You dont give yourself enough credit.
Never used bamboo before. Do they hit harder than cedar? Weight wise.

I think they are comparable to cedar Mike. I haven't thought of weighing them because I've concentrated on getting them to fly good. I wrapped them with bowstring strands from a 1950's longbow I had. I figured that should give it a few more vintage/primitive points for the hunt.

Sweet looking set up, Mike!
Benjy's arrows do work very well. The bison burgers we enjoyed this weekend are proof of that.

I remember you said you shot that buffalo with one of Benjy's arrows. Good thing those buffs last so long, the yearlings I shoot are gone by the end of the week(if I shoot them on Thursday)  :)

:biglaugh:  Been there!

We are rationing whats left of the bison. I made a huge mistake and shared too much of it with the rest of the family. Now I'm about out!
