Who needs a shotgun when flu flu arrows can drop them like a rock? This guy didn’t even flutter as he tumbled out of the sky. If you are still kicking around the idea of taking on aerial targets or even birdhunting with a bow, GO FOR IT!! and don’t look back.

New Heads!! Clark Broadheads Pheasant Spear

Jerry Clark of Clark Broadheads recently sent me a package with some new heads I had not seen before.

He has been working hard for a while now on creating unique, effective, and specialized heads for taking birds with a bow and has created some very unique possibilities. I did some testing on some earlier products and I am amazed at how fast he has made modifications in order to create a more lethal and durable head. His earlier models did their job and they have only gotten better.

Here’s a sneak peak of the Clark Broadheads Pheasant Spear. I will post the details and the results of our testing a little later.

Not Quite a Fossil

I managed to find and dig out my old compound. As you can see, it is a Mathews Solo Cam with Spott Hogg Sight and Trophy Taker drop away rest. I told you it was old, but still functional.

For aerials, it has the most important feature for shooting flu flu arrows off a compound, a drop away rest. This will extend the life of the flu flu feathers by reducing contact with rest. As far as compounds go, it’s probably a turtle, but that won’t matter too much and it’s much faster than any of my trad bows. Going back to a compound got me thinking about upgrading (a bad habit of compound shooters) to something newer. A Hoyt Matrix has captured my attention but haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet. We’ll see…
