Just wondering when the technology will come that will light up bullets out of our rifles so we can see where they go too!   :IBCOOL:

No need for a lighted bullet, just get you one of these...

Perfect! A smart bullet....this is just what they need on "Best of the West"!
I do like Brandon of "Best of the West".  He is an archery elk hunter at heart.   Good guy

I will use them, arrows cost too much money to lose in the woods

Now when you lose them they will cost twice as much. :chuckle:

It's just another aid in hunting , like range finders and bow sights , Hell yes I'll use them , plus makes for a cool impact shot ! and easyier arrow recovery . may acctually keep someone from pushing a wounded animal and lossing it.

I'm not sure how many arrows you guys lose in the woods, but you'd have to be losing an awful lot of them to justify an additional $10 an arrow for these. I guess i could see buying one or two for my lead broadhead, but more than that seems like an awfully big expense. And if you only use them on a couple of arrows, that 22 grain difference could really make those arrows shoot differently, couldn't it?

I think I have lost two while hunting.   Neither of which would have been salvaged with a light source. 

I bet robin hooding them will be worth the extra $10 each.   I tend to lose more arrows by my own regard (hitting them with another arrow etc. ) than anything.

I think it has to do more with a " wow that was cool " factor than anything thing else. The fact that they are 10 bucks each isn't going to matter. Guys are shooting bows that are 800.00 bucks or more!! IMOA

So I would like to hear from the the "Anything that is legal I will use..." people; how about these exploding arrows? If they were legal would you use them?
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

I think I recall losing a hunting arrow about three or four years ago. Prior to that I don't know how long it had been since I lost one. But I guess maybe half a dozen over the past twenty years. I will bust or lose a dozen or more each year while practicing (3-D's & stump-shooting) but that is different because for me good practice is all about putting hundreds of arrows in the air, whereas hunting is about putting one good arrow in the air.
