St Charles back quiver. Late 60's I think. Wit a dozen period correct broad heads and arrow. Has 1970 Michigan archery tag still attached.

Definitely brings back memories to this old codger.
Looks like the then "new" aluminum arrows instead of Port Orford Cedar?

Do those heads have the word "Bod-Kin" on them?

Just thinking back.
One of my favorite aromas today is the smell of cedar,
as in smelling the broken cedar shaft that had just passed thru (or missed) its mark on a frosty fall morning.

The one piece heads are Hi Precision H-5.
The green ones with replaceable blades I can't find anything on them.
Just like today, there were several smaller manufacturers of broadheads even back in the 60's & 70's. Just from what little I could see in your pics, those kinda looked like the "Bod-Kins" that were once pretty popular.

I actually killed my first bow-killed deer with a homemade head made by a family friend. Almost like it was yesterday, I still remember the aroma of that broken cedar shaft, which I smelled before making eye contact with the arrow, before finding the blood trail.
