The last grouse I took was with a .38 special casing glued onto a 125 grain field point. The result was a 200 grain blunt that proved very effective.

I also chase grouse with judo points and regular steel blunts, both weighing in at 145 grains. The Judo points are excellent for arrow recovery, but the regular steel blunts are the most cost effective for stump shooting and small game hunting.

The Traditional Bowhunters Handbook is an excellent resource for any traditional archer. I refer to mine all the time, and even lend it to friends who are just getting started. Very useful. And Campfire Reflections gets re-read on a regular basis. If TJ puts out another book, I’ll happily add it to my archery library.

I’ve also got two of Don’s books, Longbows in the Far North and Longbow Country, and I’ve got my eye on Have Bow, Will Travel. Don’s writing is absolutely amazing. If you’re looking for a good addition to your outdoor library, you can’t go wrong with Don’s books.

My last couple dozen arrows have been sealed with wipe-on poly. Old t-shirts work great for applying the finish, and Gorilla Super Glue makes for a bomb-proof fletching glue.

Konrad – Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a try on my September long weekend camping trip.

I really like the look of those new Woodsman ELITE broadheads. Be sure to let us know how they perform. I’m thinking of getting a few for next year.
