Title: Playing with glass
Post by: bjrogg on July 30, 2017, 09:03:09 pm

A few more out of the old TV.  The first one was a beauty till I broke one barb off. I was really doing good notching it to. Oh well it's really just right for hunting and legal with barbs removed. See if I can still post these off photo bucket from my phone.

BJ your experience sounds about like mine.  I like your points.

Might be legal in your state BJ, but not mine. No man made glass allowed, only naturally occurring stone in Pennsylvania.

That's putting a TV to good use in my opinion. It sure beats watching it that's for sure.

Thanks Jeff, I'm getting better at notching but I still break to many if I try to get fancy.
Dakota, I don't recall anything about not being able to use man made materials, just no barbs and at least 7/8" wide if I remember correctly. Odd they wouldn't allow man made materials, what do they think carbon fiber and steel broadheads are and yes I got a lot of enjoyment out of this old TV.
Thanks knapper

Our law reads "Broadheads must be fixed to the front of the arrow, be at least 7/8" wide, and be made of metal or naturally occurring stone." 

Not that there's much difference between obsidian and man made glass anyway, but I suppose they had a reason to word it that way.
