With aluminum and carbon I didn’t cut the arrows to find the right spine. I just changed the point weight.

Go back and read again. You two are either drunk or have gone utterly insane. Maybe both.

😆 Nice! Maybe all three! :shock::lol::wink:

😯 It’s a bit spooky that it might actually pierce the soul. 😆

in reply to: Back vs. Bow Quivers #27993

Love the pic Dr. Ashby!

Personally, I have both a back quiver and a couple bow quivers. For deer hunting, I prefer the bow quiver. I too liked the idea of carrying my bow without anything attached to it, but I just couldn’t get used to using the back quiver. I use the back quiver for everything but deer hunting.

George, I think your comment about unions, etc. is also an excellent fire starter. 😆

I don’t get the Cabela’s archery catalog because it doesn’t offer anything for me. I don’t like all of the technology in hunting, and never did…even when I was using a compound. But to deride Cabela’s for not having much, if any, traditional archery equipment, is akin to a compound shooter deriding 3Rivers for not having equipment for them. “traditional” bowhunting will never be mainstream, and Cabela’s is a mainstream retailer. Just my humble opinion.

Speaking of wood arrows, I really need to get some more feathers so I can fletch up some more for the upcoming shoots. God knows I’ll need em! 😳

Good to “see” you here on the forum Dr. Ashby!

Thanks for the heads up on those heads Steve. I had not heard of them until now.

I LOVE, I repeat, LOVE these discussions! I think it is healthy and important that differences of opinion are heard and respected. And I love your signature quote Homer!

Guess I’m in a loving mood tonight. 😆

I personally don’t know, but I do have a suggestion: I think you’d get more help if you’d be more specific with the thread title. Just as I did above for the reply. 😉

If you want to, you change yours by going to your original post and clicking edit. Then just change the title.

Some good fishing Ray!

Here’s my boy with his first walleye. From last weekend on the Saginaw Bay with a buddy of mine.

I like that.

I’ve not named one of mine.

Awesome! I figured it was something simple. Thanks Alex!
