I got one of those some where at home.
I call a lot of people brother, but only count a few as family.

I found a similar prod(aluminum) at a flea market many years ago and still have it.

Remarks like those already posted are what sets this place apart from other archery sites. Most places would have people burning up the keys to slam those things. Yet here...you get "that's cool" and "I have one of those" 8)
 Yep, good people around here.
 BTW, my daddy had one about like that one years ago. I thought it was cool then...and still do. ;D
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

At one time I put a sight on it and it was very accurate. It also had a place on the side to put string for shootin fish.

 I had one like that, too, but it was a kit made in High School Shop class with a steel prod.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
