I made this video a couple of years ago just kinda as a fun thing that I wanted to do for myself but I figured other guys may like it so i put it on YouTube. I grew up hunting in the late 90's/early 2000's and technology has changed hunting so much in just that short amount of time that it's unreal. In this video I rounded up as much of my old original equipment that I could get my hands on and set out to try and replicate an old hunt from years gone by. Making this video brought back a lot of great memories for me and hopefully it will do the same for some of you guys that can still remember the aluminium arrow smack! Hope you enjoy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMtXED6kUoQ

Woodsman8 has some great videos! Love the old school video! Loved hearing those aluminum arrows snap as the deer broke it off. Hard to forget that sound

I saw some camo aluminum Easton XX75s yesterday at Custom Archery. Good memories.

Got some xx75s in my garage if any body needs some.

That was Cool. Respect

that's the best deer hunting video "EVER" im a old hunter and I like hunting with old stuff, my quiver has xx75 aluminum arrows and SIMMONS_YATES broad heads on them, "THANK YOU"!!!!

I used aluminum arrows exclusively for hunting with my crossbow until I recently purchased one of the ultra fast setups. I saw no appreciable difference in accuracy at hunting distance and liked the idea of an aluminum shaft vs sharp carbon fibers in an animal in case it was broken off. the carbon arrows make a big difference with my fast crossbow though and I'll stick with them.

What a bloodtrail....my goodness. Great video, I really enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing.

I always enjoy your videos Ben. I was hoping you were going to post some from last rifle season. Do you plan on videoing your deer hunts this season?

I actually had seen this a while back, didn’t know you were on aldeer. Cool stuff.

Great video.

I have a dozen XX75 2317 arrows with Simmons 195 grain Interceptors on them next to my old Oregon
bow in my bow closet.

It was slow but you could break both front shoulders with it.

Thanks guys for the compliments.



I have some hunts that I haven't edited yet. I do plan on videoing some more this year, hopefully I can get some good stuff out there for you guys.

I really enjoyed that video and subscribed so I can watch all of them.

Good stuff!

I shot XX75 2317s out of my old High County with I believe it was 2" overdraw and 125gr 3 blade Thunderheads. When you hit a deer with it it did damage!

Cool video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

I still prefer aluminum bolts for my crossbow. I had some carbon bolts shatter on impact on 2 deer and went back to aluminum. Great video by the way!

I think I still have about 575 dozen aluminum arrows in the garage from when I switched over to carbon. I may post them in the classifieds one day.

Great video...Thanks.

Still have my old Martin Jaguar with Easton xx75 and 78 arrows.
