RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
It's illegal to hunt over bait here in PA, but Gander Mountain still sells saltblocks and cracked corn by the truckload. So let's avoid the whole "legal/illegal" issue by pretending that everything goes. This discussion is only constrained by what YOU would/would not use.

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
I would not use it if legal! Here are my reasons:
The challenge would nearly be gone, and that is why I bowhunt. No need to get close, no need to worry about shooting a sharp broadhead, etc. My biggest reason is it would not be a legitimate bowkill. I'd fight tooth and nail, any pending legislation of anything remotely close to what Quick posted.

RE: HNI Thinktank: Arrow Coatings
The most utility that I've been able to come up with - are for these special-regulation urban hunts. Where the hunters aren't "hunting" per se. Instead, they are "exterminating" an overpopulation of a particular game animaland doing so in tight quarters with housing developments, businesses and roadways. Rifles aren't an option there, given the nature of the surroundings.
Given asituation like that, I could see some real benefit to something like this. Just to avoid an ugly situation in somebody's yard or out in a public area.

And from the title I was thinking this would be about making a coating that would increase penetration by reducing drag. You know like the “coating” Clark Griswold sprayed on the sled.
