Title: That Eclipse Guy is So Funny!!
Post by: Bryan Burkhardt on February 06, 2011, 04:19:00 PM
Several of you know that I have shot Eclipse broadheads for many years.  More of you know that it took me 5 hunts to finally kill a pronghorn (I wish I was a natural like Mike Yancey)!  A few weeks ago, I called Blake to let him know that I wanted to pick up some more broadheads at the Trad Expo in Kalamazoo.

At the Expo, Blake told me that using my Camaro would've been a lot easier and faster.  This guy really has a sense of humor...thought you all would enjoy!  

P.S. The Camaro roadkill episode is another story altogether

Post by: Blake Fischer on February 07, 2011, 09:07:00 AM
I believe that the story goes a little like this...

After 5 attempts, and never even having a shot at a pronghorn, Bryan finally decided to take his 426hp Camaro to Wyoming to guarantee a successful hunt.  

Congrats to Bryan on a fine pronghorn, and cheers to his persistence.

Way funny, but now you'll need more broadheads as those will need to go on the wall. Smart marketing move.

Whip - easy target for sure!

Greg - remember what they say about paybacks buddy!

Eclipse have for a long time been my favorite two blade head.  It's what I use when going after the big stuff in Africa, and also what I use when after hogs.  Having said that..I have not had the chance to try those orange ones that come with over 400 horse power.  My bow is good for 9 grains per pound..but not sure about horse per pound!

Hey, wait a minute. I think we are gettin slickered here. All this fuss is over a broadhead that only got used once in five years.

Bryan, you have to be tough to hang with this bunch! But you earned that poster child job to be the new Pronghorn Eclipse Guy.

Bryan, you know they really care about you if they put in THAT kind of effort!  :D  

Does a new Camaro REALLY pack that kind of muscle?

Was that a double or single bevel on the bumper?
Title: Re: That Eclipse Guy is So Funny!!
Post by: Kevin Dill on February 08, 2011, 05:12:00 PM
It's called pronghorn on the grill.

Or maybe..."pro-long-horn" (!)

Not only is that funny, but that is a business that appreciates a customer,  personalized packaging!

Post by: Bryan Burkhardt on February 08, 2011, 09:15:00 PM
Greg - you need a good grass-bagging when I see you next!

Yancey - if it was based on how many hunts it takes to be successful, I could be the poster child for a lot of animals.
Title: Re: That Eclipse Guy is So Funny!!
Post by: Greg Szalewski on February 08, 2011, 09:26:00 PM
I was thinking it would be the dreaded rainbow bumper sticker.

A six pack should be good for thirty years at that pace without reusing any, no?
Title: Re: That Eclipse Guy is So Funny!!
Post by: Hess on February 10, 2011, 01:56:00 AM
Blake made a custom pack for me a couple years ago, I am pretty sure that I sent them all through an animal, he must have made them extra lucky.
