That's a great looking bow. To bad we ain't chasin elk with em. Maybe we can get together and chase a few deer this year. Nice work on the arrows too.

Thanks again guys...DVS I would love to chase some whitetails...I still may be chasing elk in October...I will know if I am drawn for a tag in Arizona in a couple of days.

George, did I see on another post that you gather and sell dogwood shafts? If so I would love to buys some and give them a try.

Beautiful work, both bow and arrows.

3:1 is a classic ratio for a point?  I can't recall seeing many 3" long arrow points.  I'd imagine the bone is lighter than stone.  Whats the grain weight on the points, and the arrows?

Nice bow!  Nice tips, Nice arrows!

Tom, it was Howard Hill that thought the 3:1 ratio was the best for penetration...3 Rivers still sells the Hill 3:1 broadheads.

I like making the bone heads 3:1 because they come out the thickness I like and they weigh what I want...150 grains. Total arrow weight is 650 grains. They fly well from a 50lb. bow and really hit with a punch.

Wow, thats a really pretty bow. The character is way cool and of course the skins and the tips are stunning as well.  Danny
