As for the deer, the only regret about the test is that the deer had to be discarded.  When my friend Jason shot the deer it was on a Monday in early october.  Even though we had put ice bags in the deer's chest, that week we had temperatures in the mid 90's!!  By the time I was able to conduct the test on Wednesday afternoon the deer was already going bad.  I kept the deer in the coolest part of a large metal building, but I had to work all day tuesday so I was unable to replace the ice bags until the end of the day.  By wed afternoon, it was getting really stinky.  There were green patches in the meat and I wasn't about to risk food poisoning by eating the thing.  I felt really bad about that.....

Then you need to read the whole Thread....you are both wrong..........I have spent litterally whole Nights looking for Animals that I have shot...and that ran off and hid to die....just to not waste what I Shot..... I grew up with 5 Sisters and 4 Brothers....and every Animal that We Killed was consumed.... they were not wasted....I have not got my Magazine as of yet...so I can not comment on the Article and it's Data that was aquired from Shooting this Animal with Arrows....but I will side with Hawk on this..... That was a waste of an Animal...and in my Opinion........and I know that Opinions are Like Buttholes.......they mostly stink............ I could not and would not have anything to do with the Harvest and waste of a Deer or a Catfish for that matter....I would not Kill an Animal....if it was not going to be used to the Best of My Abilities....to Kill an Animal....and then let it go to waste....is an unforgivable act in my Book.......so I hope that you learned one heck of a lot from this so-called experiment and will not have to repeat the Waste again........JMO

I liked the use of an actual deer for penetration test. Any one who has ever shot a deer with an arrow now has a basis of comparison on the "Bird point' performance. Your article was interesting, entertaining, and I for one thought well researched.

As for the "bird points"  I have often wondered if these were actually "kids points". I know I have knapped some tiny points for my grandkids bows. They are really easy to knapp and the grandkids loved them. I can see Indian Dads turning out a mess of these for their kids to use. Just my speculation.  :-\

I am looking forward to your future articles.
