HEy Mitch,

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

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.

1 oz = 437.5 gr.  Your probably a bit light.  Josh

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?
