ballista:
man.. thats awesome. beautiful country, the weather looks great for january too. beautiful bows from what i can see too. out of curiousity, what kind of heads are you using?
hawkbow:
Watcher and I have designed our own broadheads made from bandsaw blades...we use... also use 44 magnum shell casings .. wrap the shaft with sinew to make it large enough to take the casing, apply ferrile tite and you have a durable rabbit blunt.. the artificial sinew cushions the point and prevents the shaft from breaking in heavy brush.... the boys use pennies for points.. just ferrile tite them into a slot at the end of the shaft... work great and you can sharpen them too. they are deadly on squirrels because they rarely stick in the tree ;D pine pitch or hide glue work even better than ferrile tite.. i use it mainly because it is handy in the wilderness to use. Hawk a,ho
ballista:
awesome, thanks for the info. wish i'd have known about the .44 magnum tips, i was just at range the other dey with a floor so full of shells, you couldnt walk without stepping on a few. I've heard a few different explanations for pine pitch- its manily the sap melted down then let to cool, or is that nowhere near what it is? again, great rabbits, wish i had a place like that in illinois. -jimmy
huntertrapper:

i'd like to get into falconry. is there an age limit to having a license? Also is it expensive?
