Title: New Mexico now a stone point state!!!
Post by: Mesophilic on July 28, 2020, 09:33:02 pm

Really excited guys.  A couple weeks ago I sent in a proposal for the Game Commission to consider stone points for game hunting.  Included penetration test videos posted on youtube, as well as Hunt Primitive's atlatl bison hunt.

I guess my argument was persuasive enough cause now the regs read

Quote

Arrows and bolts must have broadheads (fixed or mechanical) with cutting edges.

Regs used to say "metal cutting edges 7/8 inch or wider"

So excited, now I'm thinking 2020 ain't such a bad year afterall.

Congratulations to you for getting it started and New Mexico for realizing stone can and is effective. After all, their own "Clovis" was used to kill mammoths, giant sloths and cave bears along with many other animals.

Way to go!  Maybe there is hope for other states to switch, too!

Sometimes all it takes is for someone just to bring to their attention all of the new studies and research that has been done in the last few years.
