Title: Potent Elk Medecine?....or effective SOS if needed!
Post by: BEN on March 17, 2009, 11:13:00 AM
Hey all,

Getting antsy and pumped up for my hunt with "Elkherder" this fall. Started making up some arrows last night. Figured I might be able to use them as an SOS signal if I get lost   :bigsmyl:

CX Heritage 250's cut 29"; 100 gr, brass insert and 150 gr. Magnus Stinger 4 bld. and 5" shield feathers.  Never used the wraps before---thought I'd try a couple and see how they turn out!

SWWWeeeeetttt,
I went to Colorado last fall, and
only saw one cow.
Both arrows look good,
clean, and bloddy.
