I'd buy some to keep around for small game. I tend to shoot a lot of pheasants with my bow and I feel that eould help Sent from iPhone
I could see using the head with the #7 shot in it for small game. I don't see using the bullet head at all. My concern with using those just for fun shooting is that if the head strikes something at a weird angle than you could have the bullet fragments flying in unpredictable directions. Too much of a safety hazard for me I guess.
My apologies I guess I missed the the ones with birdshot. Buuuutttt.... I still dont get it If I wana shoot a bird with birdshot I'll use my shotgun.
They would be kind of cool for coyotes and hogs. definitely pheasants. Those birds are tough! even after they have had an experience with a broadhead. Coons and possums to... I would rather use a shotgun, but can see where some people would like to use them. Definitely would not like to see something like that in the whitetail woods.
this would be cool for like gallon jugs of water or something and the bird shot could be nice with small game like squirrles. but i think if i would wanna shoot a coyote with my bow i would want to do it with a regular broad head just because of the sport of it. its the same reason why i quit gun hunting whitetail. i would like to try some but just for sh*ts and giggles
I bowhunt with a Mathews, bird hunt with a browning, and predator hunt with a Remington....these bullet arrows have no place with me. If I feel like hunting small game or birds with my bow, I'll buy some small game points.
I'd keep one or two in the quiver. I'm an opportunist hunter. I take any legal game that I'm given an opportunity to harvest. Pheasants are tough birds and don't go down well from an arrow, so this would help take those roosters that walk by while I'm in the tree stand or blind. For example I shot 11 roosters with my bow this year and only was able to recover 9 of them. Some shot with broad heads, Judo Points, and small game heads.
I have killed countless pheasants with my bow and have never had one survive an arrow. I will also add that they were ALL shot with a recurve and arrows tipped with judos and Flu Flu fletchings and shot on the wing. Far as I know(at least in my state) it is ILLEGAL to shoot a game bird on the ground regardless of the equipment being used!
Its legal in MN, but I'm sure they didn't survive long term, but they take off and bury themselves very well in thick cover. All the tree stand shots stick them to the ground, but the blind shots are the ones I have trouble with.
I might get one to play around with....shooting water jugs, etc. But I would NEVER use one for hunting.
I think they're very impractical. Cool idea, but why not just use a gun if you want to use a bullet? I agree with Jhoyt, it takes all the fun and rationality out of Bowhunting. Also, it takes away the actual reason for bowhunting. I would never use em.
Does sound cool but doesn't follow physics it seams. Newtons 3rd law states that every action has an equal or opposite reaction. I feel the rounds recoil ( and .357's have plenty) would shoot the light arrow backwards. Is it just me?
This looks like accidents and injuries waiting to happen if you ask me. If something goes wrong you aren't just releasing an arrow in an unintended path but there is a bullet to follow. Seems a little sketchy to me. What would the weight of the whole thing be? 110 or more grains for the bullet, plus the brass, plus the powder, plus the plastic thingy...how well would they fly??? What would the velocity of a bullet be with no barrel to accelerate down? Maybe this was contrived over a few beverages.
