I really gotta get one of those ALASKAN Arrows.

Pros: Having those extra elements makes it so much easier to lock onto a bird and reach it with less power.

Cons: It weighs as much as a baseball bat. Holding one of those things up in the air for fourteen minutes and your arms will look like Popeye the Sailor Man at LOS. You're going to need a tripod, or at least a camera monopod to brace it against the ground.
