Sorry to hear about the bow, hope it has decades left.


On the mercy killings good on ya, any tree hugger would have come by and sobbed while watching and then called in a documentary to be filmed as the critter suffered.
Give me a bow a topo and two weeks, and I guarantee I kill two weeks!

Does that on those heavier bows a bit more I am thinking, especially if the arrow is heavy.  Way more stress on the nock that way.  

I made a heavy "buffalo  arrow" to play with using a older Beeman Hunter shaft and some lead solder as an insert.  Around 1200 grains,  using an 83# hybrid longbow.  I had to change to another style nock cause the Beeman nocks wouldn't handle it.  Broke several.  First one I wasn't wearing an arm guard and ended up with a welt the size of an egg and I still have a scar there.  Owie ! !
