I wish people would check the SHB before starting these pile on posts that then require PWB to adjudicate. 

 

This is to save PWB having to once again point out the obvious.

 

SHB page 26 - Ammunition Covenants (after Revolver and Rifle Ammunition). I have copied and pasted for convenience as well as attached the relevant portion of the SHB. 

 

Flamming Arrows

-May only be tipped with materials commonly available at the time.

-No Bodkin tips are allowed and only two leaf broadheads may be used. Moly-Disulfide, polymer coated pile head tips are also approved.

-Arrows with flights recessed into the shaft are not allowed.

-Fletching must be of a natural make although Bald Eagle flights are strongly discouraged.

-All parts of the arrow must be precisely made to fit the arrow rest of the Bow.

-The nock of the Arrow must be of the type to use a small amount of bone to allow the arrow to fit the string. Plastic nocks are not to be used.

-Crossbow fired arrows are illegal.

-The arrow must produce the equivalent smoke as the smoke standard using the following data:

               -Standard arrow as described above

               -A handful of tumbleweed dipped in animal fat (must be an animal commonly available at this time in the Old West, again endangered species are           discouraged although not banned).

               -Bound to arrow with natural leather strips (leather strips are not to be any more flammable than the wrap on a rifle lever).

Request for approval use of carbon fiber shafts   Is pending discussion with the TGs in the near future.

I thought this was only for non-flaming arrows. Scorched CF smells bad.

Howdy!

 

     Is there a limit on how many arrows can be shot at the same time and can a reshoot be had if the flame goes out?  :P

what about plastic fletching instead of real feathers?

Would hummingbird feathers be considered as "light loads"?

Was nock going to respond.

 

What about other payloads on the arrow like dynamite? Or is that only for professionals?


Dynamite is only legal for Wild Bunch.

And Tannerite targets. They get Tannerite targets. Helps enforce minimum power factor requirements.

Broke the 170 For sure!!

Not so fast!  There are two firing lines in play and the 170 applies to each individually.  They are clearly firing at targets down range, so this is a "no call"!

First its going to HURT.

 

Second is that if you're lucky it will be a flaming shaft and cauterize the wound so you don't loose so much blood. :P
