I'd like to point out something about bullets that a lot of
people tend to forget. You can fire a gun at a bullet-proof
vest and the vest will stop it. But fire an arrow, and it will
go thru like a knife thru butter. The bullet mushrooms and that
spreads it's force out, the arrowhead doesn't mushroom and
apparently better retains it's small point of impact, thus
pushing and then slicing through (if a broadhead). Just something
to keep in mind when thinking about "my friend fired a XX and it
didn't go thru."
That said, I'm still hoping someone will post a mail-order source,
too. I've been following this thread with interest, having started
it. :-)
