RE: The search for the right mechanical BH
Mobow - you've gotta wonder why they ever stopped selling those... The shops around here couldn't keep 'em on the shelves. Especially once word got out that they were about to be discontinued. It was a feeding frenzy.
I know people who still use them faithfully - matter of fact, I just dug through the gun cabinet last year and cleaned off all the bloody/bent/broken ones I had and gave them to an uncle of mine who used them for parts. He shoots a pretty nice buck with used and recycledpunchcutters every year, just like clockwork. LOL
I dunno what he'll ever do if he runs out. LMAO
Seriously though - I did really use those in the early 90's.Filled a lot of tags with them too. At 65 grains, those babies were smokin' fast. I had them on super-short 1916 shafts off of a huge overdraw.
