A few years ago I got a call from Richard Sears. He works off the Eastern coast of Canada as well as France doing research on Whales. He got a TenPoint Crossbow to take blubber sample of the whales. They use this sample to check the health of the whales. It sounded a little odd to me, but you can't very well take them to the Vet. for a check up.
Richard got me some pictures that were taken by Fred Bassemayousse while they were on one of their trips off the coast of France.
I wanted to share these because it is a very different and unique application for a crossbow.
You will notice in the close up photo of Richard that the arrow has a big yellow stopper. This limits the depth of the penetration, pops the arrow back out and makes the arrow float so they can recover the sample and do the research.
