Been shot a bit. Tend to rust somewhat after a year or so.

anyone want to go January 2018? bought a license in order to get an elk pt so good for all of jan ’18. retired, so can spend the entire month for Javi and OTC deer if necessary. I don’t seem to be getting any younger lately and I suspect you guys aren’t either – outta be fun. maybe E. Don could advise as to which zone to apply for .

been using the trade points that Aboyer sells for several years. these are punched for sinew, left bevel grind, around 52 or so Rockwell C. inexpensive relative to others and should be quite effective. 150 gr.

I get around 12 gpp and 15% FOC with the arrows described. I use 2 blade single bevels which seems to me to be about optimum for elk.

I use 55/60 spine ash shafts with 150 gr broad heads. around 600 gr total wt. perfect for elk. this is out of a 50# r/d longbow. doug fir, larch or cedar might give flatter trajectory for deer. also been messing with 3 under which seems to make the gaps easier to manage, and reading about the fixed crawl to further complicate things.
