HEy Mitch,

I would suggest shooting heavy arrows...around 600 grains would do well.

yep heavy arrows high foc broadheads with single bevel and tanto tip like the grizzlys or tuskers
PRIMITIVE ARCHERY what other way can you play with sticks and rocks all day and not look like a little kid

Every time i shoot at a bunny i recall the wise words of Elmer Fudd "I've got you now you waskally wabbit!"

Billy: Thanx for the reply and I love your articles in PA magizine, I also enjoyed the Icaveman Specail on curiosity. I dont have a scale in grains is there a conversion from ounces?

Killerduck: Could you post pictures of the broadheads your talking about? I was hoping to get after some pigs with stone.

That foreshaft looks awfully small in diameter and you need to wrap more behind the point. I usually wrap at least an inch and a half of sinew behind the point.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?
