and here is a close up of some of the broadheads , note the small ones (new to us that George even made one like this).This is also a good picture of one of the dies that George used for pressing the tubing ferrule for the broadheads.

Here is the doweler that you can also see in Instinctive Archer Magazine fall 1997 ( boy I miss that mag!). If you dont allready have a copy , pick up the cd of all of the issues from Rob DiStefano , great reading. In the fall 97 issue you can read all about George Snell.
