Troy are you the fella that ran Sticks n Feathers in Bama

Hey all I have used Gold Tip trade an got a section of between eater line and wrapped it with yarn then stuffed it in the shaft and weighted my arrows like that. Other than that I would go with the Trad sites mentioned above they are weight forward adapted. I believe they weigh in at 10.5 grains

A Merry belated Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Ive been running around like a chicken with his head lopped off so I apologize for not relaying Merry Christmas earlier. Deer season is in full swing right now with the rut going pretty hard and clients that have booked just as hard. I have had ...

H'lo Bob, yes lots of hunters right now and Hopefully through next Spring into early summer. Hunting season for the townies started Sept. 1st course for those of us lucky enough to live in the Boondocks hunting season never lets up. There is always a pig coyote Javalina or some other varmint to take...

Hey Jeff, nothin with stick n string but have had quite a few runs with hogs and dogs and waaaayyy to many days in the field already chasing after Doves with a scattergun. I did thump a skunk last night with my hybrid bow as he came out from under the house where he has taken up residence. Bad thing...

Hey Andy howd ya drill out the holes for the rods to be run through? Hello there Jeff.

Been after Doves with longbow and flu-flus and have a few pig hunts then in Oct deer season starts here. Also going after gar in the river in a couple weeks. Turkey starts in Oct also so i will try and get a fall gobbler. Rabbits whenever I go out scouting. I have been looking for a badger for a per...

Now that is TOO funny. Thanks for helping get my day started with a laugh.
God Bless.

Good luck on the hunt.

As ugly as they are they are really quite tasty. You have to split the armor with tin shears or even a hatchet but when you open them up outwards from the top there are two backstraps that are really quite nice. Light meat with a delicate flavor and with a meat grain not flakey. Great made as gar ba...

Fellas I have five scars on my left hand and arm that will tell ya how sharp they are. Two are minor things but the others well lets say I had to super glue them shut and put ice on them to staunch the flow of blood. The two on my hand were the worse because they were right on the veins but no bigge...

Ok my fellow stick flingers here are the arrows with the gar scales as points. Arrows top bamboo middle tapered ash bottom Texas river cane.jpg gar scale tipped arrows(point end).jpg gar scale necklace.jpg Smitty says that the necklace is just way too sharp to be worn so he has it hanging as a decor...

Thanks all, goin to get some gel coat for my fish molds. i guess that will be my Bday present to myself. I have everything I need already>.Great family, a few stickbows, lotsa pigs to shoot at the topper would be a pint of Snake Bite Black and some Bar-B-Q.
Cheers all.

The Karankawa Indians who were indiginous to the coastal areas here in Texas made them when they existed. The scales are ugly sharp and will slice flesh very easily. Hopefully he will send them tonight and I will post them tommorrow evening. This tribe was brutal I believe even cannibalistic. Try a ...

Hey Jeff I just thought of something. I have a really good friend who I hunt with and at times guide for, anyway he just made some primitive arrows like I described but with the points made out of Alligator Gar scales. I will call him and have him forward me a few photos of them. All Gods best to yo...

Wal do yall have night shoots? We setup smaller 3-d targets in front of good backstops in a row roughly 20 yards out, we then attach glowsticks at the head of each target. When it gets dark to where you see only the lightstick the shooters on the firing line are given ten seconds (by whistle blast) ...

Thanks Bent Stick, all with a bit of time and I will poke them things into somethin, more than likely a tree a cactus or the dirt :wink: :lol:. On the six with the bodkins I went away from the fletching jig and hand fletched them with a little bit more of an aggressive helical and they seem to fly v...

Thanks Bob, that arrowhead is my favorite pig head tough, moderately heavy, good width, average length, easy to sharpen, mount easily and spin true and really really hold up when they hit heavy bone. Back when I shot heavier bows I shattered a scapula on a 180 pound boar it went through and busted t...

Jonow I personally would rather have a brainy dog than ballsy. I have had too many ballsy dogs and the brainy ones are the ones that make good hunters. They actually think on what has to be done in the hunt without getting hurt. I've worked with many different breeds and the ones that that make it a...

Sorry Lads, I fell ill 2 days after my sons diagnosies of pneumonia. Have slowed way down to nothing but bed rest and painkillers. Had/have a cyst under my left arm that became enlarged and has finally burst (last night) cause infection to spread so I'm on sulferbased antibiotics and pain meds. No s...

I just saw it and saved it to my favorites. I will be making a few of those. We will see how they come out and what they do to these Song Dogs down here.
STP

Thanks Big Bob I will check it out. Do yall have Reds or Greys(foxes)? Down here where I am at we have predominately Greys with the reds being farther Northeast in the Pines of East Texas. We do have ALOT of Coyotes and a very good populous of Bobcats.

I've seen some of those whistles and I like the simplicity. No wires or speakers to mess with. I know a bunch of fellas here that spend a small fortune on varmint calling systemsand most do no better than I do using my cheap handheld tubes and whistles. I have one electronic that I think I paid 30 d...

Just spoke to a DHL rep who echoed that bows are considered weapons and will not be shipped. I asked if it was in thier policy and yes was the answer. Funny things is the are always shipping electronics, processor chips and things of that nature, now correct me if I'm wrong but technically they elec...

Finally finished the arras after about a week of off and on work I'm done. Wouldve been done three days ago but my boy Conor wound up getting sick with pneumonia. I will trty and post pictures tomorrow. Went on a scouting trip tonight in the deer woods and the three boars that I saw before are still...

Another bow line that has been overlooked is Martin Archery. Gale Martin has been building stickbows since I believe the 40's or 50's. I have several friends that bought Martin X-200's and love them as far as recurves go. Good entry level bows with a warranty and the Martin family stand behind thier...

Thanks Jeff, try giving Arvid a call or email tell him that Eric from Smitty's place sent you to him he may be able to help you. Arvid is definately a wise fellow and knows his business and material.

No Lads, this BH is a design a good friend of mine who owns Black Swan Bows named Arvid Danielson has created after the old two blade version. It is roughly 2.5 inches long by about 1.25 to 1.50 inches wide. It is a single bevel blade with a square ferule instead of the round one. Go to www.blackswa...
