playing with the flu flu

[b44mag]

was messing around last night found a post on 38 shell blunt tips so i pulled off one of the rubber blunts and sanded a lil then finger nail polished the shaft to seal the shaft back up i did not have any 38 but had a few nickel plated r &p spent 357s laying around so i put one on and i like it going to shoot it soon and see how she flys i posted on the reloading board and found out that they weigh around 80 grains so i might have to melt a split shot or 3 in the case to get it to fly right who knows but now i got a 357 flu flu arrow   
read that some grind off the rim put the rubber blunt back on supposed to be hard on small game the way it is now should go right through a rabbit or squirrel not going to glue it case i get it stuck in a stump i should be able to pull the shaft out of the shell it fits snug now should be ok

I used some 38s to tip some bolts aka arrows for my crossbow. When you cock a crossbow it is very difficult to uncock, so I just made some bolts out of 3/8 dowel to shoot when I want to uncock. I shoot them at trees so I can use them more than once. A couple of times now the 38 case has imbedded in the tree and refused to come out. I was able to pull the bolt out of the case and save it for another time.

Be careful Bill! the spine on a 3/8 dowel may not be up to snuff for a X bow!!!  I have seen a arrow explode that was not enough spine!!  Parts of the shaft went thru the guys forearm and hand!!!!

I have been shooting 38's glued on wooden arrows since I could draw a bow!!! Flu Flus are allot of fun with a half dozen cardboard discs glued together!!  Have someone toss them in the air and you try to hit it!
