Any of you old timers recognize these arrows?

The tribal chief who gave them to me jokingly said that one set, I have 3, is poisoned...haha, I don't think he was joking.

He also gave me this pipe and a spear, along with a wooden basket and two longbows. I'm afraid the spear burned up when my barn went...can't find it anywhere.

Compromise, hell! ... If freedom is right and tyranny is wrong, why should those who believe in freedom treat it as if it were a roll of bologna to be bartered a slice at a time?

I hear those pipes make good duck calls...

I've known some hunters that could stand on their head in a pit blind and call in geese without using a call!

I'm pretty sure crack is illegal everywhere.

That's not a wooden basket, It's a cardboard box...

The crossbow looks like something Eel would have used in his 40's.

I hate it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President.

Looks like something I'd like to build.... Is there a pin / dowel through the trigger or does the string tension hold it in place when it's cocked? ..... Terry

No pin or dowel; must be spring pressure.

I'm pretty sure both Eel and kilo used that type of crossbow back in '66.

1066 that is. It was a dark time in their lives.

Back in the day.....

we used to use water melons when we were practicing for our turtle hunts! Some of the unethical hunters back then were taking shots out to 12 yards and longer!

Then I remember one year Running Bear (great great great grandfather to Fred Bear) tied a sharp rock to the end of his arrow. Bow hunting changed forever.
