Title: BH collecting, getting started and organized!
Post by: Larry m on November 04, 2011, 01:27:00 PM
I really had no intentions of collecting broadheads but this past year they just seemed to come my way. I needed to get started so picked this case up on sale at the local hobby craft store and then altered it to hold the points all very much done on the cheap. Next I need to ID, date, and rearrange accordingly. Really don't know where this is going but if like anything else I'm sure I'll be making more cases!  (http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/ll292/toxo-collector/archery001.jpg)

Larry, You better go back to that hobby store and and pick up a few more dozen of those cases while they are on sale... Broadhead collecting usually becomes an obsession with anyone who takes that fatal step and organizes their first display case. It is all downhill from here.

It would probably be wise to just go ahead and clean off a couple of walls for all those new broadhead cases you will be filling...

Bd, I've been looking, actually a lot, but my eyes say YES and my pocket book says NO for now. Yes Wade, Your right in that I'm all ready thinking where is this going and what's going out to make room. I have seen several very nice displays of ABCC members so have an idea how far this could go. Thanks for ALL of your positive comments. At this point it is FUN and appearing a bit addictive.
