Penetration test for pigs

<< < (5/7) > >>

D. Tiller:
Me? Nah, hot glue!  With hunting points you dont want to. Saves the shaft when they detach.

mullet:
 No Chris, I just stick them in. I beveled it so they fit tight.

Mechslasher:
i experimented with just using pressure and found they have to fit really really tight and super straight or the foreshaft will fly off when you shoot the arrow.  i'm guessing as the arrow paradoxes it loosens the foreshaft and causes it to prematurely separate.  just a drop or two of superglue held the foreshaft in place perfectly and allowed it to separate after the shot.  i'd hate to see you stick a boar at eight feet with just the main shaft while the foreshaft sails through the palmettos.  that would make for an uncomfortable situation. :o

Hillbilly:
Chris, I think that would make for an extremely entertaining situation if we could watch from a good distance away..... >:D ;D

Pat B:
Maybe a drop of hide glue would work better as it will dissolve when it comes in contact with bodily fluids.     Pat
