Video: Recreating Your Favorite ‘Rambo’ Moment With Exploding Broadhead Tips

Assuming you’ve seen the films, what’s your favorite ‘Rambo’ moment? Between “They drew first blood not me” and “Murdock.. I’m coming to get YOU” this is a tough one! However, if you’ve ever pulled back a bow, there’s a good chance you find yourself partial to his exploding broadhead tips.

(Side note: watch for the arrow shooting back upwards at him after the explosion. Pretty insane!)
