I quit shooting the bear razors when they changed there design. They squared off the tip of the head more, I didn't care for it.

Yes but, that old tip would roll and curl in a heartbeat with the least resistance. Smack a shoulder and it was going to turn the point.

70s-heck, I had 38 bigame animals down by 1975 with recurve, wood Arrows. 1st kill, 2 years after I started Bowhunting. 1958-a yearling Doe at 35 yds (on the ground) 45# Eddings Bow, 4 feather fletched wood arrow & MA3 Blade. Double lung, complete pass through & went 30 yds..
Start of my 52nd year & have never purchased a gun Biggame tag.
Back then&many years after was ONE DEER ONLY.

I don't remember it because frankly I was still a twinkle in my Daddy's eye... but he was bowhunting in the 1970's.
He'd tell you that you got ONE DEER a year.... no matter what you shot it with.... and that is also the reason he started semi-professionally training bird dogs. He'd tell you too there were hardly ANY other hunters.... and a PILE more grouse than there are now. At least in Smyth and Bath County, VA. Trapping was good, and the fur prices were better then than they are now... and $5 was still a lot of money back then.

I started bowhunting at 14 back in 1967, and was lucky enough to kill a little button buck that year with a 45# Shakespeare Sierra, shooting Feline Archery fiberglass arrows.
For Christmas that same year, my parents got me my second recurve - a 50# Bear Kodiak Hunter, and a dozen broadhead-tipped Ben Pearson cedar arrows.
Since that time, I've accumulated several more Bear recurves, as well as a few compounds, and killed a bunch of deer.
Forty years and 3 days after receiving that Christas gift, I killed this buck with that same Kodiak Hunter, and one of those Pearson cedar arrows (now there's only two left of the original dozen) That's the last deer that bow or those arrows will kill - they're now retired.

Born in 76 but can remember my pops in the early 80's going bow hunting everywhere, MA PA NY RI. We shot 3D every weekend all over my parents and I. Can remember them learning trips where pops would make me take my own trail and meet up with him 50-100 yds down trail. I'm sure he could see me the whole time. Speaking of forgotten Eq. remember those dang trail timers that looked like a 110mm cameras where you strung the string across the run to see when deer were moving! Well you assummed it was the deer since it didn't snap 3 burst shots with a 6 MP camera. LOL
