Post by: UPPower on Jan 16, 2013, 02:35 PM: I can verify that Blackhawk will stand buy his work until you are satisfied. He makes great spears, customizes to your specs and most importantly stands by his work right to the end!

Post by: UPPower on Feb 11, 2013, 05:41 AM: I agree! Brandt makes a great spear and more importantly he's a stand up guy. You would never have to worry about a spear again. Message the man.

Check out blackhawks craftsmanship and materials. They are not casual spears and are built to rock n roll.

Post by: r3kenned on Sep 09, 2013, 09:18 AM: I agree with StabinCabin. Stop in D&R, I bet they will have a few to choose from. From there it will be trial and error to find what works best with your set up and personal preferences.
