You'd shoot a hole through them with your arrow... 8)

darn, i was hoping for something closer to a hamburger patty  :P

gstoneberg:
Nope, bows aren't like guns.  As long as the point of the arrow you shoot is more or less a broadhead, you'll just shoot the arrow further past the pheasant.  However, in larger game your larger, heavier shaft will power through bone where my lighter  arrows might be stopped.   After all, your warbow arrows were designed to shoot through armor.  Arrows are all about penetration.  Bullets are all about expansion and shock (unless you shoot a FMJ).

Tom you remind me of myself and probably the same with some of the older pharts on this site. I'd wander the woods when I was 14 or so with my 25# bow and shoot rabbits, squirrels, quail on the ground and always cleaned and ate them all. You're growing up good, my friend.

The outdoor life is a good one! I have no desire for anything else but to be in the wood with my bow, rife, or fishing rod. Planning to make a permanent camp in the woods so I can hunt all day long on the weekends!

Pretty Amazing, Young Bowyer.  I grew up in good pheasant country and they rarely sit still very long.  Never even got a shot at one on the ground.  Shot at a few in the air, but no hits. Quite an accomplishment
