.410 shotgun bow lol
 

OK yesterday i was at a gas station talking to a friend about the doe i missed wesnday the guy said this.
Take a arrow shave the Fletch's down alittle take a .410 shotgun take the pellets out and leave only the powder and insert the shell. run the arrow down the barrel and takeaim and fire just like it was a shotgun


i will never try this on a target let alone a live animal but has anyone else heard this or is this a episode for myth busters

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

Yeah let us know how that works out. If you have no fingers left to type..you may have to have someone post it for ya.

hey i ant about to try it ever not unless i was using some kind of shooting cable lol i would like to know if it works though and wonder what the dnr would say lol properly you have the right to remain stupid

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

i think i might actually try that

not...

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

Believe it or not....people do that. About 15yrs ago on our farm in WV...some guys got busted by the warden for doing exactly that.

I thought it was only a WV thing... LOL ;)

Technically then it wouldn't be bow hunting, but cross bow hunting without strings lol I would say he is yanking your chain. I cant believe anyone would even try that. Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to breed

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

That would be a good one. Why would you do this, just use a slug.

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

it would work... for fun while in the military we'd pull the blank adapters off our guns and shove the cleaning rod in there and fire it, it would drive those little rods 4-5" into a tree... the m16 blanks were awfully quiet too, very little powder in them... the m60 blanks however would drive those rod into the trees and you couldn't see but about an inch sticking out..

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

We have done it, but you have to use the big wooden shafts. Take the fletching off, boy do those wood arrows penatrate into a old wood shed!

I have heard this a popular hillbilly method down in West Virginia.

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

It has been brought up here in MN, but i didn't think there would ever be anyone crazy enough to try it.

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol
 

it does work i have done it with carbon arrows in a single shot 410 we had to shave the fletchings all the way off and it becomes acurate to about 15 feet if you use the right shells it will a ctually penatrate a truck door with field tips we then tried it wit a broadhead and it bounced back so fast i was nearly cought on the business end of an arrow and this is not something i am recommending for any one especially any younguns on here

Hmmm, I have a winchester 9410 that I have been wondering what to do with;).

RE: .410 shotgun bow lol

"hey Angus hold my beer an watch this"


plus in hunters safety they said you become better looking and more popular if you shove things down the barrel of a loaded gun
