Matched set of six complete...
« on: July 12, 2013, 10:29:31 am »
This is the first time I have created a set of points matched as closely as possible for weight and size. There were a number that didnt make the cut and had to go into a different pile. I didnt think it would be so difficult to get them exact ! I am satisfied with these and hope to hunt with them before I have to go back to Afghanistan soon. I will be hafting them soon and will post finished pics of those as well.  Enjoy all !

Yeah I had to take some time off. As you can see in the pic I lacerated my hand pretty bad a while back, got a pretty big scar as a reminder that Jack Daniels will kick your a** ! too bad it was right where my pressure pad goes !

OUTSTANDING set of points and good luck hunting with them but more important, be safe over there and keep your head and ass down.

(USMC 67-69, RVN)

On  a side note; Have your run into  any Camp Cuervo Archery Clubs over there.  I opened one up  with the Marines on Camp Hansen, Afganistan two years ago.
