Will Field points kill grouse???

[Bob33]

The shooting restriction pertains to "the maintained portion of a public highway", not a "maintained roadway". Public highways are essentially all roads that are not privately owned. The restriction applies to both firearms and archery equipment.

See RCW 77.15.460.

Are you sure it pertains to archery?  The statute references a "loaded firearm".

Am I the only guy left with love for the Rubber Blunt?

I used carry 3 in my eight arrow quiver for years.  Two straight fletched and one Flu Flu.  Blunts work great for Grouse and they are the best IMHO for recovery, they will generally bounce off wood and rock with no damage. I would often shoot a few blunts a day at stuumps or big trees just for practice with little worry of damaging or recovering a arrow.  Another advantage is that I loaded my blunt arrows in the quiver safely upside down to help eliminate confusion as to what you were drawing out of the quiver. 

I will try to find some old school pictures.

Another vote for judo's!  I've killed a couple of dozen grouse with them and haven't lost one yet.  IMO, field points are too risky for most folks.

I just use the broadhead washer things. I can't remember the name but most shops carry them.  They fit just behind your field point and are very cheap.  I only body shot grouse on the ground with those points and head shots out of trees with judo points. Kills them dead and I never lost one yet.

I aim for the head.  I guess I just seem to kill it or miss.

Not the only one.  Rubber blunts work awesome.

Do people really get hyped up enough to not know they are stringing an arrow that has a rubber tip or fieldpoint on them instead of a broadhead?

 (c) It is unlawful to shoot a bow and arrow from a vehicle or from, across, or along the maintained portion of a public highway, except that persons with a disabled hunter permit may shoot from a vehicle if the hunter is in compliance with WAC 232-12-828.

Somebody must have done this at some point?  Trying to picture sitting in the truck and either getting a bow out the window to shoot or shooting out the passenger side window. 
Also, if you stuck it out the window, how would you anchor at full draw?

I have seen lots of guys drive around with their buddies in the back of a open bed pickup truck with arrows nocked I assume ready to fling arrows at the moment of stop or slow down the truck.  I have seen several that even built blinds on the truck bed to facilitate this.  I have seen as many as four in a truck bed two facing each way, I always wanted to see that fire drill:  the near rail kneels while the far rail stands and they all shoot on the count of three?

ah ha, like a chariot.  The original drive by shooting.
