Raccoon with a Talon -

Red Feather Archery · 12-21-2011, 12:44 PM

Here's a short video that my daughter and I did of a raccoon that we got with a Talon the other night. I sharpen the Talons that I use on a belt sander with some 180 grit paper before hunting nutria and raccoon with them and this video will show why. I know it knocks the black oxide off when you do that, but to me I like the sharper edge that it puts on. Not necessary if you're shooting squirrels or rabbits.

I'll try to get some still pics up this weekend.

Shot placement is key on smaller game.

To far back shots on critters like armadillo's will take your arrow never to be found again.

Camera woman did a great job Stan....
