Small game deserve just as ethical a kill we can manage. If Joe would make a 300gr blunt I would have that on my flu flu’s. I believe you saw mine in action last time you were here.:D IMHO

Yes they are–and add a good wind block fleece layer or merino wool and they are good to -10.

Same service from Joe and George at tuffhead. Sent me right wing fletching when I ordered left. Correct order was received the next day with $5 to cover postage for the return of the wrong handed feathers:D. Pleasure doing business with them.

Well IMHO Don hit the target dead center–it is a personal decision and if it’s legal in your state—. But then you have to define hunting, and the fair chase mantra is different in some states. So the key word is Hunting. I personally, prefer the fly rod over buying cod.

Dave–thanks for the grenade–stimulation is good for the Psyche.

If you look at Joe’s website there is a great article by Troy Breeding and a video of Dr. Ed tuning and building EFOC arrows. Be warned that Dr. Ed speaks Texacan vice English:D

I have seen you shoot and you shoot well. Believe you covered all the stress that made you flub the shot. Did your best to recover the deer. It happens.

Not sure I understand the meaning of your subject line—If the hunt means only a kill to you then why not a gun? Me thinks you need to take a deep breath and perhaps a glass of red vino and relax. Spend a day in the woods just getting your thoughts in order–then pick up the elk heart and hunt.

For now focus on the race and when you hunt again make that your priority—Life is to short to rush from task to task for the tasks then loose their significance.

And don’t forget the visit out here:D We love you brother.

Damn! Please pass mine and Linda’s best thoughts to them and the family.

I was privileged to have a short personal time with Larry and Belinda—and I will never forget that friendship.

Jason–go to the tuffhead website and read Troy’s article on tuning the A&A fletching and watch Dr. Ed’s video–no you don’t use it to put the fletch on all explained above.

Mike—thanks for the PM
