8ptbuckpa Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I don't know what its called but wile i was at the local proshop i was listening to a guy talking to one of the employees he has this thing in his arrow its a rubber rod that goes in your arrow and when u shoot a deer and don't get a pass through what happens to the arrow it breaks off from the deer runnin ad u tend to lose the blood ttrail. correct? well what this does is when the arrow breaks the it crimps(spelling?) and creates like an artificial artery so the blood keeps being pumped out. Have any of you guys ever heard of it before he says it from a small company in texas and they have a patent pending on it. sounds like it should work to me how bout you guys?

buckee Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting I wonder how many grains of weight that would add to your arrow? And I imagine it would effect the spine of your arrow dramatically too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting I'm kind of skeptical honestly. One, for the weight it will add to your arrow. It will affect speed, and foc. And two..it just seems a little gimicky to me. If you come across the name, or a website, post it, please.

8ptbuckpa Posted August 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting i am not sure exactly but i think when it crimps it kind of cracks open a little and the blood leaks out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly what came to mind with me too. How can the arrow act as an artificial artery unless it's broken at both ends? If that's the case, I think you need to be looking at, not only new arrows, but new broadheads as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switchback29A1 Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting does that mean once you shoot the arrow and it crimps/cracks...you cant use that arrow anymore? Sounds...wells expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikekiller Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting It seems to me that years ago a company made an arrow shaft that had indents around the shaft about every two inches...the thought was that any part of the shaft sticking out of the deer would break off and allow the blood to channel out the shaft. I cant remember the name of the company who made it but it didnt last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: new gadget for bowhunting That may also fall into the barb category and is illegal in Illinois. No reverse points allowed on your arrow or broadhead and just for that reason. No keeping something to leave a wound open and no tracking devices on your arrows.
