stone point trauma pics...

lowell:
Helps convince me to use a stone point for turkey next week.  :-\

 Also have been shooting steel and stone points into a broadhead target and the stone point seems to be penetrating as well as the steel!! ;D

Dax:
I love the thought of taking a big game animal with stone...just seems fitting that with a selfbow it should be fitted with a cane arrow and a stone point.  However, I will say that using a rabbit as proof positive that a stone point is effective for all game is a little off.  Doesn't take much to kill ol' Peter Cottontail..and/or his brethren hares, jackrabbits, etc.  Several folks have killed hogs, deer...practically most big game with stone points, so don't get me wrong.  Reckon you could take down a larger animal and post those results sometime?

huntertrapper:
billys killed a deer and turkey with stone and other guys on here have killed big game too.

Pat B:
I think the rabbit is a good subject for a stone point lethality test. That rabbit doesn't weigh 2# and look at the penetration and organ damage. Think about an animal that weight 100# and the resistance against the arrow that would allow it to penetrate better.

Ryano:
Well they may work for you Billy but my experience has been different and one rabbit isn't going to remove any of my doubts about trying it again. We all know that stone points can kill if the circumstances are right, no ones arguing that, but lets not kid our selves and say there as lethal as a razor sharp steel head because that's just plain not true.  ::) I tend to believe what I've seen with my own two eye's over what some one tries to tell me on the Internet. If you think you not majorly handicapping yourself by shooting stone points your kidding yourself. Now I'm all up for a challenge (If I wasn't, I wouldn't be hunting with a self bow) don't get me wrong.....but I hate seeing wounded and unrecovered animals. I'm not saying I'll never try hunting with a stone point again, but if I do it will only be under the exact perfect circumstances, as in very close range, shooting from the ground, broadside,  preferably with snow on the ground for tracking... I've hit them to many times out of tree stand with no pass through and had no blood trail to follow vs. the same exact shot with a steel head, no problem, plenty of blood to follow.
