Memory lane

[Boogalito]

I inherited some of my late uncles archery equipment. He was not a traditional archer but in the days he and I hunted together he used some traditional broadheads.  In those days we used compound bows, overdraws and used the lightest possible arrows. He would have the business end of his aluminum 2213's swaged and glue on broadheads. I have a quantity of Zwickey eskimos and deltas. Some blue, some green. A bunch of MA3's with adapters that are apparently unused (I remember his opinion that they were "junk"). Some of those old Zwickey 4 blades still have pieces of deer hair in them. I got an old arrow box. About 4 dozen arrows, all too short for modern use. A lot of old pins and pin sights, (proline takes me back). A kwikee quiver with "no look, clean release" inscribed...

This really takes me back to hunting in southwest michigan with him. I know I'm being sentimental and I'm having a hard time putting a lot of these things where they would belong. Some of the feathers still have dried blood on them.
