  This is what I found when I was giving a new 7° a trial run. I could tell something was wrong, just not sure what, until I pulled the board off. Started digging and found this. It's not mine! I do not like FO's! The 7° was working real good on that ash until smiley_smash. I think I was on the third ash log when this happened.  Keith

Hitting one of those is usually worse then hitting a nail.

I sunk one of those into a tree this past hunting season. A 2" elm that at 30 yards, I'm sure I didn't even know it was my side of the deer.
Couldn't believe it when that deer walked away, as I heard the "smack" loud and clear. The carbon arrow had compression failures along it so it ended up to be a $30 loss with no meat.  :(

Where's the aluminum insert? Maybe the culprit unscrewed it after he pulled the shaft off of it.

I hit an Iron Wood tree once, years ago when bow hunting.

Couldn't pull it out, so I unscrewed the shaft and went on my way.

So far, I haven't hit a broadhead with my mill, but there's always next summer!

I have had the misfortune of missing the intended target a few times, one had to unscrew, the other swelled at the insert and the shaft bounced back. vise grips an pry bar got them back,  I guess hitting this with the blade is better than the palm of your hand, 
only have a few chain saws I'm not suppose to use, but will at times, one dog Dolly, pretty good dog, just not sure what for yet,  working on getting the gardening back in order, and kinda thinking on maybe a small bbq bizz,  thinking about it,

Wonder if anyone has ever hit a old stone arrow head.  I bet that made a bit of a racket when you hit that arrow head ND rancher.

Boy if I hit one of those! :o It could happen . We have trees that have been here for hundreds of years!

   This is a small one! If you check the rings in the oaks you realize just how long it takes to grow trees here!
