Did there used to be some type of powder pack right behind the broad head on arrows?

Seems like I remember my stepdad having these.

What was the powder for?

Poison that's used to kill deer. Was banned in the 80s I believe. Still pop up for sale every once in awhile if you associate with redneck fricks who live off disability, but that's neither here nor there.

Tictin or Anectine, used to poison/paralyze deer. Illegal now.

As a kid I hunted in a lease with a few of the worst shots with a bow you ever wanted to see they killed several deer a year with them. They would wear surgical gloves prepping them not sure if that much care was needed but sure scared the crap out of me.

My dad said he knicked a spike in the leg with one and it ran 50 yards and died. My mom also had to bail him out of jail 2 weeks after they got married for possession of a controlled substance (anectine) and goin help a guy get a deer he shot the day before season.
