Exploding Arrows with compound bow! [Arrow filled with black powder, capped w/ shotgun primer] (2013x21)

Air date: Jun 27, 2013

This is our first attempt at exploding arrows, we probably used a half ounce of black powder in the arrow itself. It was a carbon arrow. We removed the tip and replaced it with a large shotgun primer. I saw these first in the anarchists cookbook about 15 years ago. The bang was rather satisfying.. probably doing it again soon!
