    Is THIS a myth?

    P.S. Check out the insane stabilizer on that beast!

    WAY COOL! The mythbusters was about whether the splitting an arrow was possible.

    My hunting club has a requirement that you can shoot an apple from 30 yards, 16' up in a tree. The idea is that if you can hit an apple, you should be able to place a clean shot on a deer.

    That is what I'm talking about! I've got one!! I've busted countless nocks...

    Please note, the arrow that is in the target: has no nock, the taper has been cut off and it was larger in diameter than the arrow being shot... It's still a fantastic display of accuracy!
