Dont know if this is approved or not??? I found these online they are two part arrows. Anybody seen anything like this before. Would be pretty cool for back packs, or whatever.

I dont think they would stand up to a 40# or higher bow, pluss they have to be pretty stif and fly like crap with that adapter in the middle of the shaft. Doesnt seem to be a safe arrow for a bow.JMHO And shooting an arrow out of a slingshot seems pretty dangerous and stupid to me.again JMHO

I made a dozen cedar take down arrows about 15 years ago just as an experiment. They flew great and in fact myself and illianabowhunter shot some of them just an hour ago! I would hate to guess how many shots they have taken but I am sure it is in the thousands.
They take some serious time to build and I am not sure what there good for other than they have a "cool" factor going for them! As far as flight there no different than any other arrow.

Been out a long time. I think "Too Short" (Paul Bruner) may have sold them when he had his Screaming Eagle store many moons ago.

I made these a few years ago out of .308 Bear Magnum aluminum shafts.They shoot and tune like anything else.The joint makes them a little stiffer.It just takes a little more point weight to bring them in.I shot them a good bit but never got around to carrying them.They can go in a plastic tube and stow in a fanny pack or day pack as spares-theoretically.

Take down arrows are cool! I've seen a couple of article on how to make them, but they can be figured out by the pictures. As said by others, they're more of a novelty, but they work just fine.
There is also a well established tradition of shooting arrows from slinghots, they're deadly and effective. At Mojam, Rattling Randy had some interesting prototypes of hunting weight slingshots. They looked effective and I think they're good for medium sized animals.

I had a fiend back in the 80's who would take bent aluminums and cut them, add insert and screw them together to make complete arrows. They shot great and save him a bunch of $$$$.

the 2009 suspense/adventure movie "the perfect getaway" features a hawaiian goat hunt using t/d arrows and t/d bow. i see no viable use or need for t/d arrows unless yer part of some covert assassin organization.
