Santa is going to bring me a new spear for Christmas.

[BigRoy]

I need some help picking out a new spear for the year. I am currently using a lazer cut one that works o.k. however the handle is heavy and has poor weight balance. So santa needs some help picking out the new spear-what are your recomendations? I prefer a wider spear and havent been shopping yet. Thanks

You could start your search here.

it is a non profit informational site that shows many spears and their makers.

If you were real nice this year you might end up with something that looks something like this.

Merk,

Any idea on how much the kraemer spears run?

[merkman]

I am not sure.

You could google and talk to him.

But be fore warned:

In a year's time he makes between 100 and 150 spears. His phone rings 12-months a year, and he has people on a six-month waiting list.

Depending on the design, it takes him anywhere from eight to 50 hours to make a spear.

He makes about 5 a year now most are donated localy for raffles and actions. He has a long list about 2yrs out but worth gettin on. He is the local fire chief, owns a steel fab shop, and has a family. He like making them just does't have the time yet.

I bought a spear from him a few years back. It says it was the 21st one he made. Let me tell you that this thing is one awesome arrow. I have never used one that flys as straight. I think at the time I paid 100 bucks. IMO that was cheap and would pay alot more for one that was made this well. Just my 2 cents.

How far out are you? I'd like to talk to you about one for next year.

I'm booked for this year but the heartland chapter raffles 4 of them each year, and a Kreamer spear at their banquet. Greenwald rod and gun club raffles one in the spring. Just trying to help.
