Default RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings

On a TV hunting show the other night I saw what I believe they called a "green hunt" (not sure though about the name). It was a bowhunter in Africa that was going to shoot a rhino in the back hindquarter with a dart tipped arrow. They (vet & management people)needed to sedate the rhino so that they could get blood to test and take measurements. Anyway, they mounted the dart on the arrow, the guy got within about 25 yds and shot him. It all worked out the way it was supposed too. I think the guy mentioned that SCI recognizes these "records" under this "green hunt" label (green hunt meaning not killing the animal). Thought it was interesting. Don't know if it adds to this topic or not though .
