Load these, and make sure you pick up a serrated one:

Magnus Stinger Buzzcut 125gn, always have one in the quiver as what I call an "oh &hit arrow". No matter what I am hunting, you know it would take down anything to save yer butt including upset buffalo, menacing moose, bear, boar, or even GSP (lol never!)

After looking at it if the idea of taking half your toes off doesn't stick in your head for the duration of the hunt then tune the broadhead to be in line with the bottom (rail)vane so it goes between your toes because its parallel to them. That way you'll only be taking off one at a time. :lol:

Never thought it would happen to me.

Was out with another woman a few weeks ago. She was using my Vixen. At the end of the evening hunt on the way back out, I offered to uncock the bow for her. She was a new hunter and not in the habit of taking the arrow out of the bow at the end of legal light - and without thinking about it, I put my foot in the stirrup and kicked my broadhead. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I turned the bow toward the last bit of light and showed my friend what I'd just done. Figured I might as well. Good lesson for her too. No harm, and no injury. I removed the arrow and uncocked.

Never say never!
