Upgraded broad heads---observation

Timber ghost

Has anyone else noticed that the broad head look like the radiation symbol when it's leaves the bow----3 open rings---zombies on the way,why not radioactive ones to kill undead critters in the trophy hunts,or they could pass thru multiple critters ,for multiple kills.............??

I think ,everyone is going to have a blast.

And I just thought it looked cool hadn't even clocked it related to zombies looking forward to the shufflers event!

Technically, that shape is the symbol for a biohazard. The symbol for radiation is three somewhat trapezoidal shapes arranged around a circle.
No matter though... Still appropriate for zombie deer on the way.
When I first saw the shape of that broadhead, I wasn't quite sure about it. Did a bit of research, and was amazed to find out that such a broadhead actually exists (http://flyingarrowarcheryusa.com/store/). Very cool YouTube video demonstrating it against other broadheads at draining jugs of water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDKLxpw31VY). Impressive.

Thanks for the correction on the symbol ,biohazard is a better fit-- relating to zombies,than radiation ---

Has anyone noticed that if you use the crossbow and move left and right the arrow spins round?

Arm yourself with the x bow and walk left and right. Sometimes the arrow will spin round in the bow.

Really reinforced for me how broadhead impacts weapon power.
My daughter just started to shoot bow this winter. I have a small range set up in the garage for her, suitable for her 12lb recurve. Makes me glad that they are target points missing the backstop on occasion and hitting drywall instead of one of these...

Has anyone tried a pistol crossbow?? Wondered if they're worthwhile, I like recurve bows and compound bows but have no experiance with crossbows think theres something in the old english rules were supposed to practice archery every sunday afternoon! One of those old laws that never got removed...

I have a Excalibur crossbow,once dialed in, it's extremely accurate at 50 yards. Tried a pistol once, not impressed, more a novelty weapon.
