Here's what I use.They are cut from either circular saw, or band saw blades.They are mighty rough on small game,and pretty hard to lose. God Bless

Take a look at the arrows the tribes in south America use for hunting game in trees.   They are about four feet long.  Ten thousand years of testing developed them this way.......there must be a reason.  They also use long, low poundage bows with almost no brace height.  Again, things develop locally for good reasons.  Is there an anthropologist  among us?  piper
