(https://forestryforum.com/gallery/albums/userpics/30744/IMG_2366.JPG) This is what I found when I was giving a new 7° a trial run. I could tell something was wrong, just not sure what, until I pulled the board off. Started digging and found this. It's not mine! I do not like FO's! The 7° was working real good on that ash until smiley_smash. I think I was on the third ash log when this happened. Keith
Hitting one of those is usually worse then hitting a nail.
It's a Muzzy!
Yes it is, 100 gr.
I sunk one of those into a tree this past hunting season. A 2" elm that at 30 yards, I'm sure I didn't even know it was my side of the deer.
Couldn't believe it when that deer walked away, as I heard the "smack" loud and clear. The carbon arrow had compression failures along it so it ended up to be a $30 loss with no meat. :(
Where's the aluminum insert? Maybe the culprit unscrewed it after he pulled the shaft off of it.
I hit an Iron Wood tree once, years ago when bow hunting.
Couldn't pull it out, so I unscrewed the shaft and went on my way.
So far, I haven't hit a broadhead with my mill, but there's always next summer!
I have had the misfortune of missing the intended target a few times, one had to unscrew, the other swelled at the insert and the shaft bounced back. vise grips an pry bar got them back, I guess hitting this with the blade is better than the palm of your hand,
Wonder if anyone has ever hit a old stone arrow head. I bet that made a bit of a racket when you hit that arrow head ND rancher.
Boy if I hit one of those! :o It could happen . We have trees that have been here for hundreds of years!

Where did you get that "TEENY TINY" chainsaw? :D
Big enough for me!
That DanG tree is HUGE.
Well the one in the background to the right of the tree stand sure ain't no twigg either :D I have yet to hit anything arrow like yet ... and I could do with out for a while too.
Is it just me or is that saw trembling a bit. :D

No...it not you......it's trembling. :D
Wouldn't mind a little saw I could hang on my key chain where'd you get it?
Hey ND, what kind of tree is that? Would that be a Cottonwood?
Thats the size of trees Danny and Jake love to play with, specialy Danny. :)
Rooster, You are correct! smiley_clapping
Mine was a horsehoe, quite a shock finding in the near center of the tree. Horseshoe 1 Millband 0.
