Finished up two 495 gn bamboo shafts and tipped them with 145 gn stone points last week to shoot out of my 48# bamboo backed Osage that I finished this summer. Got up this morning and over my coffee I saw where Batman shot his second buck and was telling my wife about it and she replied some backstrap would be good for supper. So being the hunter/gatherer that I am I finished my coffee grabbed my new setup and went to my blind. About 45 min later the straps arrived. She was quartering away at 15 yds when I shot she ducked and bolted I hit a little high and back. After about five miniutes I heard her in the briar thicket I went to where I hit her and found blood so I gave her about 30 min and tracked her about 20 yards into the briars and she was expired. I hit a main vein or the blunt force trauma from that stone point killed her. The best part of the day was I did not break my arrow or point cause I was kinda hatein to lose my new arrow it's a lot of work building them things.
Congrats on a job well done. :thumbsup:
That will make them straps that much better. :clapper:

Well bless your heart, Troy. You accomplished in jig-time what I tried to do for three years, and didn't make it (and I hadn't even got to the stone point part on my cane arrows). I'm proud on ya, my friend. Like batman, I also sent greetings to Amy and Cody and huge kudos to you. Looking forward to the pics.

Troy just don't look right without his beard. I had no doubt that if he set out to nap a head and kill a deer with it, that he would. Anything he makes is a work of art and usefull as well. Great job Troy. DB
:clapper:

Good job!
This is the coolest thing I have heard all day.
Scott
