Anyone seen the 9mm and 38 arrowheads?

[John A.]

I just saw an ad on the outdoors channel for some new arrowheads that allowed you to use a 9mm or 38 bullet basically making it an explosive tip.

The commercial showed it being used on a big boar.

Anyone else seen these before?

MikeD posted a video on these in the archery section a while back...

Very interesting...

Those would not be legal in Indiana for deer, but for nuisance animals, no such restriction. Just have to use common sense safety.

I still see this as a novelty or for nuisance animals. I can't see it being used much or even legal for hunting.

Here's two links. I'll look for more...

Here's another from the ATA show. Shows the same bullet as above but also a small game #7 head (no gunpowder). Uses the arrows speed and momentum to send the shot into the game.
