Gents from a quick look at the interwebs regards the Bow-Mag it does not look promising. Interesting enough there is not a lot out there regarding the Bow-Mag.

A couple things is it even legal, check with the local DNR to be sure as it could qualify as an “explosive” typ load?

What is going to allow the bullet to gain velocity, eh? 1 site stated that the cartridge holder was ruined with each shot, if that is the case it sounds like an expensive arrow.

But it is an interesting idea. If the round would penetrate a short distance before going off I suppose that could cause enough damage to bring down a deer or wild boar, maybe?

My 2 cents from a keyboard commando:-)

I’d rather use my specialized AR-10 on the deer, and the tricked-out/accessorized Beowulf .50cal on the wild boar.

Sounds like the Bow Mag is a cute novelty, but i it didn’t ‘work as advetised’, you might be trailing that wounded animal for a while, to finish the job.
