        While channel surfing this morning I saw a commerical for something that just blew my mind.

        Now, since I’ve not been here alot lately it may have already been covered, but still worth bringing up again.

        It’s called Bow-Mag by Racembac….

        It’s a cartrage holder that fits on the end of your arrow. Holds either a 38 or 357 cartrage. When the arrow inpacks the intended target the bullet goes off just like you used a gun to do it.

        Come on…. How lazy has the wheelie world gotten???

          Takes away from the sport of bowhunting. I’ve seen it too Troy.

              Sounded familiar. I think this was about something similar:

                  Alex,

                  That’s the puppy…..

                  As stated earlier,,, it’s nothing but a bang stick on the end of an arrow.:shock:

                  I almost tripped over my lower jaw when I saw it….

                    All seriousness aside, it strikes me that one of those things loaded with a blank could be used in some kind of hilarious prank…

                      Is it wrong to hope there will be a significant number of backfires?

                        Get used to it, guys. If someone thinks they can make money selling it, you can count on its eventual appearance, no matter how ridiculous. Don

                          Honestly, nothing surprises me anymore since the Deer View Mirror, the Acorn Cruncher, the hunting suit that supposedly keeps deer from reading our minds, and that rediculous toilet seat that slides into the rear hitch of a truck (thankfully, it says not to use when the vehicle is moving).

                            Hey now, don’t be lumping Uncle Booger’s Bumper Dumper in with those ridiculous items.

                              Jim, a blank on impact is really going to ruin someones day if not life. These things are just recipe for disaster. Is there even a safety pin?

                                  I gotta agree there. Between that and the spork, it’s one of the few things that keeps my respect for humanity going. Going where is a different story, but still…

                                  Besides, you know the only reason that warning is on there is that someone tried it!

                                    Any kind of toilet for the outdoors is a thief of one of the wilderness’ greatest pleasures. The squat. There’s nothing like the stretch your back gets, with the wind between your cheeks as you fill a very shallow grave 😉

                                    Of course, I’m never in the kind of cold a lot of you guys are in… And my wife loves the more civilized outdoor water closets..

                                      “(thankfully, it says not to use when the vehicle is moving)”.

                                      Even in granny gear? Some things best not left to pile up too much. 😆

                                      Now where were we??

                                      Ahh! Arrow bang sticks. That pretty much sucks to say it like any mild mannered Texan might put it. My daddy used to say “Put all the stupid in a bottle and hopefully there’d be some of us left to put the cork in it”.

                                        Jim,

                                        I don’t think I will ever be able to un-read that, though I will desperately try! Nor will I ever be able to get the image out of my head, no matter how far in I stick the Q-tip. 😆

                                        Besides, at my age, I need to use a tree for back support. 😕

                                        I’m pretty sure this thread is now officially hijacked. 😳

                                        Be well.

                                          That thing would bring new meaning to the word jackass when someone invariably takes a ride on it with the video rolling despite the warning label…..sorry could not resist.

                                            BRAVO! well said — although I personally thought the bumper dumper was a pretty trick idea – especially for us older folks -haha

                                                I was running around the internet this morning and came across these guys again. They’ve since released a small game ‘steel shot’ head and a james bond style ‘scent’ head which allows you to deposit a baiting scent without walking down and leaving your tell tale smell behind.
