What's in your quiver for Fall?
« on: August 21, 2015, 03:00:00 PM »
Just curious what everybody is carrying with them this Fall.  I'm still looking for my first trad kill and I'm trying to be prepared for just about anything.  First, I have a couple Simmons Interceptors for deer and hogs.  Next are a couple small game heads.  One is the Forge Converta Blunt I got from 3riversarchery paired with a 125 field point for 200gr total.  The other is a 100gr carbon express 4 blade that I modified for small game.  It has a 44mag case behind it to add weight and give a little blunt force trauma behind the blades.  It comes in at 193 gr total.  And of course, a couple 200gr practice points.  I haven't actually weighed them, but based on component weights, the total arrow weight should be around 550-575gr.  Delivery system is my new Flatwoods Custom Longbow I got a few months back: 47#@28", 64" long.

I showed you mine,now let's see yours.

Pretty bow!  My quiver will be filled with Simmons Interceptors and 200 grain VPA 3 blades...and a couple of blunts, of course!

Are you actually going to shoot dem purty arrows?
Not going to post pics of mine as I'm not sure what bow I'll be taking into the woods. Too many to choose from and besides, my arrows are too blah.

I've got a Big Jim's takedown Buffalo bow that's 54@28"

My arrows are Gold Tip 5575,cut to 29 inches. I've got a Big Jim three blade if I see a deer,and then some Cutthroat for hogs. I always carry a cheap glue on like the Magnus for rabbits and squirrels,and i've always got a few field points as well.

No pics, but I'm taking my Easton Axis trad shafts with VPA 3 blade 200 grain heads, some cutthroat 160's on adapters, and will have some VPA small game thumper as well.

Thanks guys.  That Buffalo TD is beautiful.

Yes, I am shooting those arrows.  I actually just got through stump shooting with them this afternoon.  They look great in the picture, but believe me, they have a lot of mistakes when you look close.  They are my first attempt at cresting and feather splicing and between lack of practice and cheap paint and brushes, I managed my fair share of screw ups.  They actually came about kinda as a joke.  I decided to try pink feathers last season after someone showed me how well they showed up.  My dad and brother started picking on me before I even glued any on, so I decided that if I was going to get picked on, I might as well earn it.  I worked these up and got myself a pink/brown string with pink/brown silencers for my recurve that I hunted with last year.  I was also thinking I might use them to help convince my wife to try a recurve since my recurve from last season is just 42#.  When I got my new longbow this year, I tried a few arrows I already had and these being the heaviest were by far the quietest.  I tweaked the side plate a little and got them shooting like I wanted and now I have two bows that are tuned with the same quiver full of pretty arrows.

Wood all the way! 55-60# with 125 gr Zwickey with 3X5" fletching. For another bow I use, the only difference is that the spine is 50-55#.

Also taking Zwicky Eskimo 125 grain on cedar arrows. I have an old school Kwikee Kwiver but just for transporting arrows - I take it off when I get into my blind then set my arrows behind me for quick access.

I do the same thing Robert    :biglaugh:  I thought I was the only one. I actually a lot of times take mine down in a MTM case so the broadheads don't have to go in the foam and get dull,and then take them out and set them behind me.

Using the same arrows I have had for a few years now.  30inch 55-60spine cedar shafts with 3 4.5inch turkey feathers for fletch and a Zwickey Eskimo up front  and a Boehnig Classic nock in the back.  The complete arrows weigh 500 to 515 grains.

Put another guy down for 125 gr Zwicky eskimos on cedar shafts (still got some Kustom King ones along with a set RMS Gear built for me). Soap Creek's hand made back quiver and a Howard Hill Archery Wesley Special will all debut this season. Though im thinking long and hard about possibly going light on the deer this year and banking on pigs. I live in a great pig area thats just so/so for deer, (plenty of them, but small and skittish, plus we're all QDMA here at ft Benning). I figure, theres deer all over the U.S., but good pig land is regional, and sooner or later Uncle Sam is going pluck me out of my Dixie paradise and post me somewhere else. "Carpe Porcus"....
