does your state have broadhead restrictions ? like no expandables,no heads with removeable blades.
If you cut up your wife's french leather purse to make a tab, does that make you a redneck?

We gotta have broadheads at least 7/8th inches wide, and they can't be under 1.5" long.

For bowfishing heads, we can't have more than 2 barb on the head.

I wish but Michigan just legalized crossbows this year...yippie frickin skippy...they ought to just allow shoulder mounted rockets and RPG's.
We do not rise to the occasion.  We fall to our level of training.

Yea they legalized em in Virginia a few years ago too. With some of those crossbows they make nowadays, it takes the whole challenge of hunting with a bow out of bow season. Some of them look more like sniper rifles than crossbows. Oh and I think the only bh regulation in Virginia is they have to be 7/8" wide.

I believe most states that have a broadhead width standard have gone with 7/8 inch.  I have read that this was the width of the Case Kiska broadhead.  Roy Case was an early pioneer in archery and an avid broadhead mfr and developer.  One of his heads was called the Kiska and that became the standard.

Basically every state is 7/8" min,no barbed heads,no explosive tips,no drugged tips.

VT has no "special" regs that I'm aware of.
