You're going to need a super stiff arrow just to launch the thing and the trajectory would be hidious.
Yeah... I'm thinking there is a VERY specific application for these, probably more for shots within 10 yards. I don't even know how you'd site your bow or tune your arrows for these... you would have to get a "practice" tip that weighs as much as the .357 cartridge you're planning on using.

That's the line I went by under our GFP laws... I'm assuming it would be classed as an "explosive tip."
