JERRY HILL DELUXE ARROW #2

For the first time since the 1950’s has this arrow been made available. It was first made by the BEN PEARSON ARCHERY COMPANY of Pine Bluff, Arkansas, for the historic safari that took place by Howard Hill. On this safari Howard Hill carried with him completed arrows of blunt and target pointed. These special made arrows were all footed. The footing of an arrow is chosen because it produces a stronger point area. This addition reduces the chance of an arrow point being broken off easily. Every detail of those famous arrows have been replicated, with the exception of the shaft wood itself. I know that these 1950’s arrows were made using port orford cedar, that had been shipped to the Pearson Archery plant in blocks of old growth dried standing trees. These blocks of wood were processed into arrow shafts. Each shaft was checked for its straightness and closeness of tight grain of wood. Every shaft that met these requirements and also spined out in stiffness of over 85 pounds rating, was reserved for Howard Hill’s forth coming African safari. In tribute of this historical archery event, I, along with VIKING ARROWS offer you the chance to have a set of your own arrows constructed in this like manor. Due to the fact that only the very best of wood was allowed to be used for Howard Hill’s arrows, left me with only one choice as well. If i were going to have manufactured an arrow to symbolically represent these early arrows, then only the best of arrow wood should be used as well. I researched long and hard through early books written by archers themselves that went in search of the best arrow wood. They all agreed that if possible to acquire the same wood from trees reserved by Kings of old for their own armies of archers, an archer would have found the very best arrow wood to be found. Norwegian pine, some archers call Finnish pine or deal, was and is the wood chosen. If only the best chosen at the time 1950, was port orford cedar of old growth, and it not being available today in quantities that may be needed. Then it only made since to me, that only the best should be used today, that could meet all requirements needed.

  As with the arrows made by Ben Pearson Archery company,  they feature a 20 3/4 inch crown dip, with small complimenting crest. Footed for added strength at point area. Three solid orange feathers adorned the finished arrow with orange matching arrow nock. This JERRY HILL DELUXE arrow, will compliment any archer on the range or while in the field hunting. All other features offered, are the same as written about for #1 listing of arrow design offered. JERRY HILL…..
