Wow, alot of difference between states. A friend of mine that works for the dow says that alot of states that let guys use stone have problems with animals not being recovered, says he has seen guys with pretty much a hunk of river rock tied to the end of an arrow. I dont know anyone who would not make sure his points are razor sharp and have the integrity to do the job but I guess some *(^%$holes would just so they could say they killed with stone.

4dogs
I would like to see the statistics or dow report. I think the number of individuals actually using stone or obsidian is so small that any states Div. of wildlife couldn't even make a judgement. How would they compare stone, obsidian head losses with metal edge broadheads? I'm not questioning you or your friend. I would like to see this information if it is available.

I was sure that in Ontario broadheads had to be metal but I just checked the regs and there was a special note regarding the simplifying of criteria for broadheads. Broadheads used for big game and turkeys must have at least two sharp cutting edges that are at least 22mm wide.(7/8inch) I think that would allow stone points.

All Natural, I would like to see some kind of report also but I doubt any have been done. I think he was just expressing his feelings on the subject..he is not a bow hunter and believes nothing less than a 300 mag should be used for elk...he is welcome to his opinions.

Florida states " braodheads having at least two sharpened edges with minimum widths of 7/8". No explosive or drug injecting tips."
Guess that means stone is legal.

Fine in NC; no barb. Fine in SC and in GA the regs say for bowhunting it must be a broadhead type arrow.
I called the head law enforcement guy in Raleigh, NC to find out what they meant by "not barbed". He thought for a second and told me it couldn't look like a fish hook. Then he said I had better ask that would be writing the ticket!

I'm not sure if Michigan allows them or not. A search on the State website only turns up specifics for crossbows.
It says "ARROWS, BOLTS, AND QUARRELS USED FOR TAKING DEER, BEAR, ELK, AND TURKEY WITH A CROSSBOW ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A BROADHEAD HUNTING TYPE OF POINT NOT LESS THAN 7/8 OF AN INCH WIDE AND MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 14 INCHES IN LENGTH."
I'll call a buddy who is a CO and see what he says.

This is VT's rule as stated, so I'd say yes.
"The arrowhead must be at least
7/8 of an inch in width with two or more cutting edges."

Never bothered to check in ND as it's an issue I'll never have to deal with. I rather suspect no...

i think it just has to be pointy in s.c. i would bet the farm that the ratio of shot/lost is much higher with steel point hunters. the people who make the rules don't understand that to even get to the level of being a stone point hunter, one must pretty much have mastered all other styles of hunting. just to make or trade for a stone point of hunting quality is an adventure in and of itself. not to mention making an arrow and attaching a stone in a way that will allow the arrow to fly straight takes years of skill.
