Short bow/ short arrow.....quick, clean kill. The bow was gifted to me by Don Carter (44" Osage, 42# @ 24") and the arrow is black ash with what ya all call "bird points" it's shape is Cohickian and the stone is Keokuk. Through and through. Took a couple jumps, looked around like she was confused, and tipped over. So thank you for the Bow Don, And thanks for the head(s) and skinners Dan....and a special thanks Gun Doc got to use the pipe to send a little smoke north (pretty special) in the pictures the "dirty knives" the blue flap eagle case and knife and headed your way to say thanks to you.
Enjoy the pics fellas, it was a good time even after all these years and I hope it never goes away.

Thanks Twisted, yep I'm really likin my little points, Dan Hamblin and I have a runnin joke about my "little girly-points".
Thanks Ed, No she aint a pibald, they're illegal to shoot here in Michigan, as are the albinos. Had real nice contrast colors and enough fat for 2 deer ::)

Nice kill my friend. But be careful....................I might start keeping some of those small points for myself if you start having results like this. Glad the skinner works. Nothing works better in my book. Talk to you soon. Thanks for sharing. Means alot to me to see results with something made by my hands.

Man that just makes my day. Tickled pink ;D.
Those small points really do a good job.
I can see a lot of good eating and project coming out of that.
-
Good job Rich.

Very cool, do you mind if I ask how long your arrow is and how wide that point is?? Congrats
-
Congratulations Rich. Good shooting. :)
-
D Bar, thank you sir.
Howard, it means a lot bud
Dazv, The arrows is 25 1/2" over all, and has 24" of draw from string grove to back of the head. That is my largest point and it's about 1-1/4" long by 3/4" wide. The most recent heads are between 3/8 and 5/8 inches wide and about 1' long (give or take a smidge). In case you wonder.....I had a discussion with the DNR District Headquarters Commander and even took the arrows for examination....he said that I could use the heads because the were copies of original type NA arrow heads and that the only archery equipment (arrow heads sizes) specifically mentioned was for cross-bow bolts.
Sorry it took so long to get back....here's some photos that may help.

Rich,
That blood on there gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Congratulations on your kill.

Thank you Don, Mixed emotions here... the items were really too nice to shoot but I couldn't help my bad self because they were too nice not to shoot if that makes any sense.
