>>#5, I've used mechanical and fixed blades for deer, but i prefer mechanical. Never had a problem with either. Have used the guillotine broadheads on turkey too. Bowfishing I use a specialized mechanical that sorta works like a grapple, so you can reel the fish back in.
Probably save you some gutting time.... big game mechanical heads lock back, but pulling the arrow out makes them retract. Usually spring loaded with a band that releases on impact. If I use fixed blades, Muzzy Trocar is the only way to go.
Wouldn't the field point be best for zombie hunting? The broadhead's good to hit blood vessels and make the target bleed out. It also has the bonus that it can't be removed without doing some nasty damage. However, against zombies of course this depends on the type of zombie we're talking about here you'd probably want to focus on head shots more than anything else.
I don't know what it's actual use is, but I guess you could have it attached to a rope on the back end on the shaft.
Kinda create like a grappling hook style shot so you can tether animals down.
A modern bow requires no piercing tip unless someone/thing is actually wearing plate. A modern arrow with a deer tip will go through feet of kevlar/ reinforced materials
arrows pierce differently than bullets, by using less KE and a much tinier point of pressure. Basic inclined plane principles. Example- an arrow will go right through a 50 lb sandbag, which will stop the bullet from a 30-06 point blank. Kevlar, Dyneema and Spectra fiber are all cut with scissors. It is by alternating weave and layering that they achieve ballistic resistance, which disperses the kinetic energy of a bullet. A bladed arrow will cut through it just like the scissors they used to make it. SWAT guidelines say only solid plate body armor is effective against knives. Same principle.
I'm glad I'm not the only one. They're so impractical and tacky that as a guy it just infuriates me. Like why would you purposefully make your fingers unusable in anything but basic button pushing? ******* morons
I keep my nails semi-long (pic related, I never let them get past that) just because it's piratical to have decent length nails opening cans, ripping stickers, scratching an itch, popping open some zippo fluid... nails make that **** much easier . But the thought of growing them that long is horrifying. I've got soft nails, so I'd be constantly bending them backwards...
Yeah those are perfectly fine. It's almost always walmart employees I see with the 4-6 inch long nails, clacking them against the register buttons, shewing their gum and looking away, distracted by their thoughts of going home.
I was in a fire when I was 17 and burned ALL the skin off my right hand and the nails off my thumb and index finger.
I was told my nails would never grow back. They did. The one on my index finger is mostly normal, however, my thumb.... That nail grew back "looking" normal, but it is about 3 or 4 times thicker than all the others.
I can use it a a paint scraper, screwdriver, box cutter... you wouldn't believe the looks I get from some people when I open a box by cutting the real thick, reinforced packing tape with my thumbnail...
Couldn't have said it better. I'm all for aesthetic choices that do nothing practical, but to wear something that looks dumb AND limits your tactile abilities just baffles me.
i still have scars from a stilleto girl on my hands ... damn sex was almsot not worth the pain , but it's always a pleasure to pull my sleeve and say : Do you wanna know how i go these scars
