Hunting arrow- unknown age, 3/8" shaft- looks like a homemade b/h. Arrow weighs a whopping 745 gr. with turkey feathers. Painted by hand. Next two arrows are by Raulf, out of Wisconsin. Probably from. The early 60's or late 50's. One has some kind of what I guess is a frog hunting point and the other is a very neat flight arrow that weighs only 220 gr. Extremely tapered with a brass point. If anyone knows about these arrows, please share. Thanks, Lance.

The Raulf arrow has a "digger" point on it. Was used for archery golf ( to shoot the ball representing the cup). If the shooter missed, the arrow dug into the grass on the green better than a field point. Raulf Archery was located in Fon du Lac, Wisconsin. There is still an archery golf course in that area, which may have been around back in the day. I believe Raulf went out of business in the 70s or 80s.

Thanks for the info. Nice to know about the "digger" arrow because I didn't have a clue. I actually have a few more of this type of arrow but the Raulf is the nicest and was so chosen for this thread. I have several "newer" Ben Pearson arrows that are close to the cresting shown but with this one being hand painted I was just curious. I don't know enough about Pearson arrows to even guess if it is an early example. Any one recognize the broad head on that arrow? Thanks. Lance.

I think that the small fletched arrow with the regular point was also archery Golf for the long shots, The golf course is still at MT. Morris,WI. & still being used.

Right. The skinny Raulf arrow is a flight arrow, the "driver" so to speak.

BTW, the long spike was also used in a native american archery game. Cornstalks were stacked horizontally between brackets to make a small backstop/wall of cornstalks and the shooters would shoot at them from long distance. Score was determined how many corn stalks were stuck on the long point when the target was hit.

The broadhead looks like a Stemmler Deerslayer. Measurements could clarify that. The arrow could also be s Stemmler. Stemmler was making broadheads and arrows before Pearson.

raghorn, the total length of the b/h is 2-5/8" including the ferrule. The b/h itself is 1" in width and 2" in length, and is pinned to the ferrule. Thanks. Lance
