Hi folks,
I used to use old broadheads on blackbirds in the garden. They got pretty dull pretty fast. One bird jumped the string and lost both legs, I sort of felt bad- I suppose it flew till it died, no way to land.
I lived in a small town and quit using the broadheads and went to a homemade spring device when an arrow hit a rock and took off straight up in the air. I never did find it. I must have come down on some tourists car and left the county. Sure wish I hadn't put my name on my arrows.
Anyway, take an old brake spring from a drum brake set up, heat the middle until you can turn a reverse loop, cool fast, clip the ends and put it under your field tip. It'll take down any bird you can hit.
