I finally got the chance to read the article.Good article Billy.Thanxx for takein the time and effort to do the test and write about it.Very informative.It also,imho,illustrates,why most early people,took to useing steel or iron points when availiable to them.

Traxx:
Little Jon,
I would like to address and discuss your Buff hunting theories,but dont want to hijack this thread.I will post it in the hunting forum,if you are interested.

Scowler:
I thought that the article was very informative.  I knew that light/moderate poundage self bows could kill deer.  However, I never thought about using bird points for deer size game until I read your article.  In retrospect it makes some sense.  If you have two arrows (one with a bird point and the other with a larger broadhead) and they are shot from the same bow, the arrow with the smaller arrowhead should penetrate farther since the same amount of energy is concentrated in a smaller area.  It would not be fare to compare field points to bird points, as far as trying to get maximum penetration on deer size game, since bird points are a true broadhead (just smallert than "normal" broadheads) and field points only have a sharp point and no cutting edges.  Again, a very interesting article.
