My walk today didn't yield a squirrel or deer but I did get a dove for the pot. Two armadillos were out and about at midday but that was their mistake. No they aint going in the pot. Only 2 squirrels seen. I guess I'm going to fix me something cajun with the squirrel, dove and some of the deer meat.

Wow, congrats on all but especially the dove. That's good shooting there. I'm impressed

Nice job sir! Dove: is that those footed shafts? Dillo: tell us about that aluminum arrow set up, that a custom broadhead? Looks cool great shooting.

Just the arrow with the dove is footed. Its a aluminum2117 about 2 inches long over a GT 1535. The nock end is about a half inch long. I watched a video on you tube on how to make a footed shaft. My two dillo arrows are old aluminum 2219 I had laying around. Dillos usually breaks your arrow. I've shot 4 dillos so far with this 2219. I know a dillos will eventually break it. Wood and carbon go down fast in a dillo. The broadhead are made by Mr. Abert Sullivan. The broadhead is made from a field point modified and the metal point is from a band saw blade.

Cool thanks for sharing, I know a 2219 is a heavy, pretty stiff arrow, nice job.

I honestly didn't know people still shot aluminum arrows these days. They used to be very popular when I first started shooting a bow back in the 70's. What are the advantages/disadvantages of aluminum over wood or carbon? Too bad you have armadillos on your property - I hate those things.

U a killer Mikey, and it appears your hunting property has a lot of stuff on it that needs killing. Carry on.

Well done Mike.
