Those points look time consuming. Did you follow a pattern or design yourself? Also, I made an antenna out of a 10' stick of 1/2" emt conduit with a connector in the middle(cut in half for two 5' pieces). Drilled 3/8 holes in the top half to put 4' dowel rods through for birds to land on. Add a couple of decoys near the center and birds will definitely slow down to investigate. Good luck!
Thanks Tracy

Thanks all! I deyed em red"ish" to stand out in the field, thiers sure to be lots of hail marry shots and I'd hate to loose any
. They are very time consuming Tracy, I'd a lot rather knap out some heads than to build more of these
. I found some decoys at Wallyworld so plan on slowing them down with those. I'ts ellegal to hunt birds over bait here but you can decoy
? go figure. Push em all down my way Mike, I need all the targets I can get

Yeah, a target rich environment always helps, "Why that's the one I was shooting at of course".

great arrows brother... I have hunted and even got lucky enough to kill a few doves on the wing over the years.... takes a lot of shooting to hit one of those fast fliers... can't wait for the pics of your success with those beautiful arrows... Hawk a/ho

Hey, Cowboy, if you're going to use that chicken snake backed bow, you better cover them skins with duct tape or somethin' or them doves won't come within a mile of you.
Good luck, David

Those are nice. I was at a field on opening day a couple years ago and the game warden came around checking the shotguns to make sur they were plugged. When he go to me I just smiled and held out my flatbow and asked if he wanted to check it. He gave me a suspicious look and asked what I was going to do with that. A minute later, one lonely dove came flying in and it sounded like WW3 with all the guns going off. Then he saw one flu flu go up and pop the bird. I ran out, go the bird and my arrow and went back with the biggest grin on my face. He just shook his head and kept going. He never did check my bow for a plug though. Oh well.

Thanks again guys. Sorry Marius, those are cane shafts - some I got in trade with Hillbilly. Just love that stuff. That's hilarious madcrow - he may have shook his head and walked off but I wonder what he was thinking
?
Tracy: this is a design I've seen a couple times sketched in books, I think it's in Hamm's bow's and arrows of the native americans. Two more weeks
