I'm getting my arrows set up with broadheads for our annual Pope Young shoot out here in Oregon. I don't know how many states have them anymore, but it's an old tradition here. The first day the Clout and the Wand competition is shot. Each archer uses six broadhead tipped arrows in each round of this traditional competition. I don't know for sure, but since I got this set of Mr. Stewarts arrows I've been wondering if this was his set for these events. There is still a little dirt on the broadheads.

Each one is marked with the spine, signed and numbered one through six with the gold rings behind the fletch.
Another thing that makes this set a little extra cool for me is thatI've been using the same combo of two orange with a white cock feather since my first set of custom arrows. Greg

I have never shot a Clout or Wand competition. I just looked these up in The Archers Bible. I remembered what the Wand shoot was, but did not remember what the Clout shoot was. Very interesting competition.
Bill Stewarts arrows sure look like they were made for those competitions.

The broadheads look like Hill's Hornets

Ron The heads do have HH stamped on them. Hill's Hornets? Thanks, Greg
