(By the way, I am looking at a particularly thorny rose cane in my garden and thinking how I can embed double edged razors for fletching. I already got a 3" diameter rubber suction cup for the other end! I swear, I am gonna do this arrow!)

JW: my hunting partner ran into some old timers a few yrs back that hunted with a disabled permit that allow them to use a cross bow. Now the bolts they used were not legal in WA

. They had a practice point on the bolt and the fletching was blades. They claimed this combo worked great. Not sure I'd like to shoot them off a bow with hand so close. Ed
