I have an "array of arras" in a wicker barrel (full), in boxes, leaning in corners, in quivers, stacked up, and making more.
This is my "ugly arrow experiment" 675 grains, 5/16 shaft of "some kinda wood", all I know about it. One of the best SHOOTING arrows I've ever slung together. ("self" nock too!)
It and it's four brothers have a "date" come fall!

Not my kill, but I made the shafts for Dan Quillian. He shot a 70# Archery Traditions Bamboo Longhunter, yellow poplar shafts, 160 grain Snuffers.

B.Glass, it came up for sale here on Tradgang. I contacted Dean and got some history on the bow, and bought/traded for it. I've seen a couple more here, too, but they're rare. Dean named the bow "Easy", because, he said, the bow just seemed to want to be made, and came together with ease. It was made in the spring of '96, during the time frame when he wrote the book that was serialized in TBM.
One of my proudest possessions. I haven't hunted with it since the picture was made.
Thanks Don, guess I should keep my eyes pealed. You never know, right?
Looking the perfect arrow for my bow.It is a Samick sage drawing 50@28 my draw is 28 any suggestions?
Yeah, Mom, I had been wanting one of Dean's bows ever since meeting him at Cloverdale while I was working for Longbows & Recurves magazine. He was still selling finished bows then, and I tried one out. Probably shouldn't have, 'cause then I was hooked. When Miss Easy came up for sale, I couldn't help myself.
Ordered my woodies this morning hope hey work good for me.Gonna try and shoot 160 grain broadheads but might have to go up even higher to get arrows to spine right.
