manchu whistling broadheads
JoJoDapyro:
From the reading I have done, they used different types for different animals. 3 Rivers sells a glue on target tip type.
PEARL DRUMS:
Deer can jump a 150 fps bow at 8 yards, with a perceived silent arrow. Adding a whistle will just make it easier for them to dodge us. No way would it benefit a deer hunter in any fashion.
bjrogg:
Haven't done any scientific studies on it, just for any observations I'd agreed with Pearl. I never seen where any sound froze a deer, just makes them bolt. Only thing I've ever seen freeze a deer is a big bright light in the dark shining in their eyes. I know that's illegal

Having studied Manchu archery extensively, I tried a whistling hare fork arrow out on bunnies. Makes them think it's a predatory bird or something, they stop dead in their tracks. still haven't had a chance to try it on a deer, though.
Outbackbob48:
I have had mixed results on whistling at deer to get them to stop some did and other seemed to just know that an arrow was soon to follow :o Pods or posion arrows were used a little in the early 50's I actually belived ole Fred was expermenting with these and later it became a no no because of either self poisoning or wing and fling didn't matter where you hit them type shooting, Somebody goggle about Fred, I thought I read it along time ago.
