Mountain Lion Arrows

Made up some arrows today for my Mountain Lion hunt in January.
 

That one with the black point might get to see a deer tonight!

Sour wood shoot shafts, wild turkey feathers with deer sinew, points by Butch Stone and Lane Gregson sealed with bear grease.

Nothing like getting ready for a hunt!

I don't think the mountain lion will like them very much.  ;)

I have to ask - what's with all the fur in front of the feathers?  Is that to act as a flu flu since you are shooting up into a tree at the cat?

and more... why grey ?  Why not a bright color ?

Good luck on that hunt.  I have always wanted to hunt ol Felis, but likely never will.

Those look great Mike!  Definitely on my short list to do.  Do you weigh the stone tips to make sure they are within a certain weight?  If so, what does a "typical" stone point weigh?  Good luck on the hunt!

I don't weigh the points but do weigh the shaft and point and want them 550-600 grains. That is turkey down on the front of the feathers not fur and it is fluffed up bigger than it really is. Its for looks and don't slow it down, I do pull tiny pieces off when in a tree stand to check the wind, which comes in handy.

Nice work. Are you going to use dogs or are you calling?

Sourwood is my favorite shafting and I don't think you can find tougher shafting. The natural taper give plenty of weight forward so lighter stone points lend themselves perfect for sourwood shafts.
 Good luck on your lion hunt Mike. Aim small, miss small!

Good looking arrows Mike!  

The black is Obsidian, what type of stone are the other points?
