RE: Shooting a grouse w/ arrow
I just got in form a bit of dove hunting... I used on of those bird catchers. It has four sections of looped wire atached to a blunt piont. Not sure how much it ways or how effective it would be at any substantial distance. However, I did get one it was just landing next to a freshly cut corn row about 10 yards away and I smoked him. The tip took his head clean off. The tip does not fly that far and I put on a soft feather tracer that helped me follow the arrow after the miss. After shooting at about 50 differnt birds I called it quits. Alot of fun but doves just don't tend to land or fly that close.
