       I'm just curious...did your friend shoot that white tail through the head on purpose? Thanks.

He didn't say.  I know it was a fairly close shot in heavy cover.  It could have been the only shot available.

I'll ask him..

Sounds like a good plan.

Right now, if an arrow breaks at the base of my field point, I cant re-taper. 

These arrow get a weighted cartridge case blunt. 

When, not if, this arrow breaks, I salvage the fletch and turn the (Closely inspected for cracks) shaft into 12" crossbow bolts.

I like your idea..

Steve

I shoot 30-31 inch Arrows...I draw between 28 and 29 inches depending on the Bow with my Index Finger to the Corner of My Mouth... and if your Friend tried for the Head Shot...only shot or not....I would have passed for sure....just not a sure enough shot....seen deer taken in Rifle Season with Arrows still stuck in them from Poor Shots...or just Bad Shooters.....JMO
