    Arrows ?

    Where can I get cheap wooden arrows these days ? I went online to find a new bow string and some arrows and all I could find are very expensive carbon hunting arrows. All I want are the old fashioned cheap target or blunt arrows, so I can cut off the point, attach a weight and a string and fire up my antenna line.
    I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.

    Has 6 dollar ones. Probably illegal in your state.
    I considered them as antenna elements but they are not metal and not anything else I can determine.

    Probably carbon fibre. It's ok... arrows are legal here.

    Oh, I must be thinking about the "Pointy Stick" law up there then.

    I don't think a Wrist Rocket has enough elastic cohones to toss a 6oz egg more than about 15 ... 20 feet vertically.
    Now a surf rod will cast a line at least 2 to 3 miles.

    6oz???
    OK, maybe mine was wore out but I gave up on that method when it wouldn't get the job done with a 2oz sinker.

    if the tubing is shot.. yes. I agree with ya but with good tubing you can put that eggie quite a bit a ways away....and depending on the distance. with somewhat lethal velocity. WHAKO
