Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Does anyone know where I can get one that isn't made of modern materials? Mine was made from mule deer antler and it finally died and broke apart. I'd like another or one made from wood, but no shiny metals and certainly no plastics.
