Next controversy

[boneaddict]

Have any of you seen the new broadheads that fire a shot when impact happens.  Saw an advertisement the other day for them.    That's a step up from the controversial lighted knocks.    I haven't investigated.  Curious if anyone knows what I am talking about.   It was being used on hogs in Texas I think.

Kinda like a bang stick for halibut?

These?

[boneaddict]

Yep, that's probably it.   Thanks for the link.    Yikes.

I honestly don't see the point of them, no pun intended.  Just use a handgun if you want to "shoot" them. 

Someone did post this a while back BTW.

Yikes is right, those are probably better left as a novelty item.

If I had a few arrows to destroy and a big red gummy bear was in my sights.....game on. Overall I agree, party trick and I'd rather use a handgun.

First time I had seen them Loki.   I was like whoa!   Any chance these will try to be used for archery here in Washington?

[cbond3318]

 If you shot one of these and hit the "pocket" which under most situations is a survivable wound, would that be true for a point blank .357 round through this same area?

These toys are just that. A novelty to use on a bow in places where hogs run rampant and other feral critters. Made out of Louisiana i believe.

I've never used one. I recall seeing adds for them and a few shows using them for hog hunts on the outdoor channel 3 or 4 years ago. I always wanted to try one out but never did. Does seem like a bit of a novelty item. I could see how using them on under powered bows (think youth) for hogs could possibly be an advantage.

How much energy does it take to trigger the primer ?? Aka what's the max distance

Will a 357 kill an elk at point blank ?

I can already picture the threads

These have been around for awhile.  Even if legal...who would use them?  Imagine the FOC on those bad boys.  Not to mention a lack of lethality.

[Shank]

The Duke boys used something like these, oh wait that was dynamite and they just used it to help catch the bad guys for Rosco

Although I have seen this product before, this was the first time to see a demonstration.  Thanks for posting the video. 

Very silly idea.  If you want a party trick, go for it.  Not for me, thank you.
