The Affects of Adding a Stone Arrowhead

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
I shoot every hunting arrow(with trade, stone or commercial) before it goes in my hunting quiver. I use a large rubberized foam bloch for this.
 For every 25grains added to the end of your arrow you decrease the effective spine by 5#. So, if your stone point weighs 100gr your arrow is shooting like one that is spined 20# lighter. Your arrows are not tuned to the bow unless you have the point you intend to shoot on it.

sonny:
I shoot 'em into round hay bales as there are typically a few of them in the field next to my buddy's
house. I have broken a stone point or two when shooting into hay but I figure the point was destined to
break and I'd just as soon find that out now.

I shoot round bales with knapd points all the time too and I hardly ever break one.   Like Pat B said, I have to shoot an arrow so I trust it enough to carry hunting.   I don't shoot more than one stone pointed arrow into the bale at a time.  If one hits the other it is pretty much game over for that point.

PrimitiveTim:
Alright cool.  Thanks for the advice guys.

mullet:
Go find and old couch cushion and shoot at the foam that is inside. It will not hurt your point.
