An armadillio has a hard shell doesn' t it. I would think you could shoot it in the head, and might get it, unless your bow has some kick a$$ power.

Make sure you shoot it with an arrow you don' t mind losing, or getting broken. Usually the arrow goes thru the ' dillo with no problem but then it sticks in the ground and when the ' dillo takes off he will snap your arrow into...

If that sounds like words of experience, it is

Matthews bow at 65 lbs and a carbon arrow, 3/4 penetration jumped about 3 feet in the air did a flip and broke the arrow into three peices when it came back down. Pretty hard on arrows, hit em right behind the shoulder from about 25 yards
