Rob, I got some magnus 125 screw in heads if you need. PM me Robert
Rob,
I have Grizzly and Tusker Concord Single bevel BHDs in the weight range you're looking for and I'll even sharpen them for you. If you prefer double bevel, I'll sharpen any of the heads mentioned in the above posts (or any others) if the donor will send them to me for you. Are you shooting wood, aluminum or carbon shafts? I'll also intall/spin-test the adapters if you need them.
Let me know,
Ron

Here is a pic robk sent of his new bow on the way. Great looking bow!!!! Good luck Rob. (http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z314/Bowferd/1.jpg)
hey all i finally got confirmation on my hunt. it will be from jan 4th to the 8th of jan. my dad and i will be heading out jan 2nd and stop over night then make our way to hamilton county outfitters on the 3rd so we will be rested and ready to do some hunting. my pop went to the ducks unlimited banquet last fall and drug me along and we won a fishing trip and spent this morning chasing strippers catfish and even a large mouth bass. we hit the water at 7 am and were back limited out before 10am, not bad for a cripple and an 82 year old lol. without my dad i wouldn't get to go hunting as i am on a cane and he does the work carrying things for the blind. he became my hunting partner after my mom died in 2000. we don't have big place only 20 acres that my sister and her husband have so this trip to hamilton county is like going out of country for us and i know will be a great time whether i get a big buck or not. the people putting on the hunt greg and jackie are amazing people. when the hunt happens i promise will have some pics whether i am successful in the field or not.
again thanks to everyone for stepping up and helping out i am very blessed
i am glad you like the bow ferd he make some great looking bows and i have shot one before and it was quieter and smoother than any compound i ever shot when i could shoot one lol
god bless

guys something i didn't realize until today is i need a rest for my bow. i just got it in and the pictures i posted do it absolutely no justice. the bow is magnificant and i can't wait to try it out. the piece of equipment i need is a knock pliers and some ideas on what kind of nock i should use?
thanks again for all your help. i am really looking forward to my hunt
god bless

have fun and stay safe i have just sent the broadheads to ya and ya should have em in 5 to 10 working days. jeff
Rob,
If you are shooting off the shelf, I can send a nice piece of Leopard Seal Skin, it's Orange with Black spots. Makes a real fine rest. As for a nock, I gave up brass nocks in favor of tying one on with some string material. It can be adjusted by twisting it up and down the serving and makes it real easy to tune, especially when I am shooting a new string in and it's still stretching. It's easy to do, the directions are in the "How to" section, the "Adjustable" one by Ray Hammond. I can send some string material with the Seal Skin if you want it. Let me know, and Thank You for your service.

well i got to shoot the bow bill griffen of zona bows sent me and all i had was a nock on it. all i can say wow. the bow shot amazing. it is fast and with just a nock and nothing else on it there was no shock vibration and quiet as a church mouse. i will try and get some pics posted as soon as i can.
thanks for all the help you all have given me
god bless
