beautiful arrows and awesome points! :) I hope you get your birds.
-
Paul, those look great. Good luck, I'm doing good to hit one of those little suckers with a shotgun, much less an arrow. I wouldn't pass up a shot at a dove sitting on a tree limb, though. >:D
-
Outstanding looking dove arrows Cowboy! I've tried and tried and found judos better than the wire loop heads. Looks like you found the right point for the job. Good luck and please report back.
Thanks Tracy
-
I love them Paul. Those are some mighty pretty arrows. I wonder if anyone would complain about using them at the park behind the house. :o Justin
-
Those are some pretty little arrows, Paul but I'm kinda partial to my Beretta.
-
Thanks David! If I shoot one off a limb or off the ground, I'll never tell ;D. You betcha Tracy - I was planning on reporting back whether I get one or not (but I got a feeling i'll get some game - I hope) usually get two or three with a shotgun ::).
I was wondering about that Justin - Don't think anybody would mind. Even a game warden would just about have to laugh at my methods, haha ;D..
-
I was talkin over ya Eddie - I'm kinda partial to my 870, but seems like I can't hit anything anymore. Might as well have some fun :).
-
Paul: Make sure your bow is plugged for three, (two in the quiver and one on the rest). ;D I'd hate for you to have an unfair advantage. I think I'll stick to the 16 gauge SxS. I'll push all the ones I miss your way.

I hit the first dove I ever shot at...but haven't hit one since...with a shot gun! Good luck, Paul. Those are cool arrows and heads and similar to a primitive style. 8) Don't let Cade get too close to the arrows. They look fairly purple to me. ;) Pat
-
Beautiful arrows Paul ,That should be fun,Hope you ant hungry ;) ;D ;D
Pappy

Good looking arrows Paul! Good luck, and may the force be with you...you'll need it! ;D
Might wait for them to land on the ground...still plenty challenging. ;)
-
Nice dove arrows Paul! Let us know how you do.

Impressive work Paul, cool arrows. Hope you get some. Maybe a dead tree at a water hole. L.J.

Those points look time consuming. Did you follow a pattern or design yourself? Also, I made an antenna out of a 10' stick of 1/2" emt conduit with a connector in the middle(cut in half for two 5' pieces). Drilled 3/8 holes in the top half to put 4' dowel rods through for birds to land on. Add a couple of decoys near the center and birds will definitely slow down to investigate. Good luck!
Thanks Tracy
-
As always, Very nice work! Best of luck too....
-
Thanks all! I deyed em red"ish" to stand out in the field, thiers sure to be lots of hail marry shots and I'd hate to loose any :). They are very time consuming Tracy, I'd a lot rather knap out some heads than to build more of these :-X. I found some decoys at Wallyworld so plan on slowing them down with those. I'ts ellegal to hunt birds over bait here but you can decoy ???? go figure. Push em all down my way Mike, I need all the targets I can get ;D.
-
awesome arrows, paul. what's the shaft material? cane? best of luck, my friend.
-
Yeah, a target rich environment always helps, "Why that's the one I was shooting at of course". ;D
Mike
-
man those arrows are awesome! must have taken you a ton of time. I dont think I would even want to shoot them for fear of loosing em.
Simply beautiful. love em.
wanna make me some? :)

Awesome! They would probably give a squirrel or a rabbit a good knockin', too... ;)
-
great arrows brother... I have hunted and even got lucky enough to kill a few doves on the wing over the years.... takes a lot of shooting to hit one of those fast fliers... can't wait for the pics of your success with those beautiful arrows... Hawk a/ho
-
Hey, Cowboy, if you're going to use that chicken snake backed bow, you better cover them skins with duct tape or somethin' or them doves won't come within a mile of you.
Good luck, David
-
Nice looking arrows Cowboy.Enough shots at anything and it'll go.Good luck ! Frank
-
sweet those loks awesome...i might have to try them too, im gonna be huntin doves also...good luck sir....
-
Thanks Mike, hopefully I can do the same. pugpen, I may have to use that bow the way things are going - trying to get another going before the season.
-
Those are nice. I was at a field on opening day a couple years ago and the game warden came around checking the shotguns to make sur they were plugged. When he go to me I just smiled and held out my flatbow and asked if he wanted to check it. He gave me a suspicious look and asked what I was going to do with that. A minute later, one lonely dove came flying in and it sounded like WW3 with all the guns going off. Then he saw one flu flu go up and pop the bird. I ran out, go the bird and my arrow and went back with the biggest grin on my face. He just shook his head and kept going. He never did check my bow for a plug though. Oh well.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D......... ;D ;D ;D ;D :D
-
Thanks again guys. Sorry Marius, those are cane shafts - some I got in trade with Hillbilly. Just love that stuff. That's hilarious madcrow - he may have shook his head and walked off but I wonder what he was thinking 8)?
Tracy: this is a design I've seen a couple times sketched in books, I think it's in Hamm's bow's and arrows of the native americans. Two more weeks ;).
-
Those are some beautiful arrows!! Are the points osage inserts? Did you scrape or sand all the rind off to get the dye to work? God Bless, PeteC
-
Thanks Pete, yes osage inserts. I used the belt sander to get the nodes even, then sanded the whole thing with 250 grit lightly to make the dye stick - one swipe with true oil to keep my fingers from turning red later :).
-
great looking arrows Paul.
I shot this one with a maple selfbow. it must have been flying 50 miles an hour right up until it landed...then i shot it off the ground...lol

That's a very nice shot Ryan - you must be proud and I know you are. Now you've got it under your belt and have, how do we say this - boasting rights ;D. I don't know of many peaple who have shot a dove with an arra.

Come on Monday...... 8)
Good shot there TL.
