Title: Number one antelope arrow
Post by: Jack Denbow on July 29, 2021, 07:30:51 PM
Back in the early 1970's a friend received some old archery "stuff". I don't remember if someone had died or what, anyway he gave me a handful of footed shafts that were made back in the 1940's, they are nearly as old as me. Last winter while organizing some of my shafts I ran across them and thought one of them would be perfect to use on my next antelope hunt. I had to sand it some to get the spine within range then I tapered it an painted it up some and fletched it with wild turkey feathers that I dyed. I hope I get a good shot to put it to the test.

Thanks guys, only 2 more weeks. I have been going to the same place since 1999. We go the first week every other year. We have a great bunch of guys really have fun. Even if the Gods don't smile on you, you will have a great time. I am so looking forward to the trip this year.
