      First time this happened to me. I had my Swiss army knife with the Corkscrew — took the tip of the corkscrew and wedged it inside the broken knock and pried it out [ no damage to the nock end of shaft]– field expediant fix.

        Good looking Pooch ! If it is legal to use a dog to blood trail wounded game in IN — Dewey could fix some “bad” days for friends, allowing your canine companion some days in the field during the deer season.

          I believe Zwickey is now making the “No Mercy” BH in single bevel — 130 gr weight — should make up close to what you want with the correct adapter [ short 26gr alu ?] — { 3rs}

            I highly recomend to all members reading this post, to check out Smithhammers “the words we use” — excellent disertation on this subject. I wish I could write that well. I am afraid I agree with Smithhammer in my Heart and Mr Steve McD with my head. If we want to keep very much of the wild places, that are left – We all better start working at it { just sent in my App for BH&A}. So much habitat has been crowded out in my short time on the planet — well it is really scary and disapointing to me.

                Great Picture! Fuels the Passion !
                I also would really like to Kill/Take/ Render unto my Possession, a Really Nice Mule Deer Buck with the Traditional Bow. One of the Greater Hunting Challenges of the bow IMHO. I will be in ardent pursuit again this year!
                Thanks for the motivation.

                  Called the Phone Number shown in the Grizz ad [PA]for a couple days now. Get a recording that says–” no one available to answer your call – please call again” doesn’t seem to have a provision to leave a message ?!
                  I guess the outfit is not operational for the time being —

                      Congrats! Well done! I am glad you were able to find him.
                      Your perseverance paid off – both in the hunting [ 4yrs] and the follow up.

                        Ditto — I was looking all spring found 6 at my local [ mostly Modern ] bow shop { been there a long time according to the young salesman}. Went to the Tuffhead, and will hunt with those this year–
                        I heard that the co [Grizzly] sold and was moved from Co — to somewhere back east [ clouderspot Pa- 814 274 0905 the ad says in tradbow]
                        But no one I contacted, at all the well known tradbow purveyors had any or knew when they would?

                        Ps– I will give the PA No# a call tomorrow and report —

                          I am definitely not an expert —
                          But for the last 40 yrs — I unstring my bows when not in use – I especially would not leave them Hanging for long periods of time strung*! IMHO — so far, { knock on wood} I have not Had one break on me — or a string either [ change them out at least once a year- irregardless of condition]–
                          Probably excessive –but — it is working so Far
                          Scout

                          PS – I have Seven bows currently [ including my First one – 1970]*I exercise all of them periodically – so they also are not “unstrung” for long periods of time– “Balance in all things”

                              I am in complete agreement with the title!and Leon sounds like a great Bowyer — see below
                              If your Bowyer doesn’t seem to have the time or inclination to help you out [ no matter how famous] – find another – IMHO
                              A lot of great Bowyers out there now – find one that “fits your pistol” — Sorry – but it is a qoute from the “DUKE”

                                I am glad it worked out well. I always thought Alt’s argument made sense. Habitat is a lot of it {IMHO} and he said the range as it stood, at the time couldnt carry the load. Good Luck on your hunt this year.

                                I know [hunt] three ranches in Texas — one in the Hill Country supplement feeds/water and it will be OK. Another in the Davis Mtns is terribly dry, wells are working though. Oddly enuff the Mesquite there is loaded with beans [ which is allowing all critters to hold]! but the oaks are having a real bad time.Not as many Mule Deer around as in the past. Although the Javelina are doing OK — Tough lil peccerhogs!
                                The third one on the Dry Devil River, is holding – barely.

                                  I killed my first wt Buck with a bow in PA [Carlisle]. I havn’t hunted there in a long time but always interested in what goes on.
                                  Yes, His Name is Gary Alt [ very innovative blk bear researcher ]Who took on the “Deer/ Habitat problem in PA”
                                  Read about it in “Deer Wars” etc quite the Donneybrook. Did the Management Plan work in your estimation, or not?

                                  Long term Drought in AZ / NM so herds have been down for some time,finally getting some late summer monsoon rains. This should help out for this yr anyway. The Coues always seem to manage better than the Mule deer.
