Title: Arrow Address Sign

I put this sign up a couple of years back.  A lot of people seem to think it is a missle in spite of the nock and stone hafted head.

My oldest son looked at it and said that is why he lives in a subdivision with deed restrictions.    :)

I agree.  I did not have a jig saw at the time.  I only had a skill saw so everything was straight cuts.   :)

702plmo, I thought about that but my artistic skills were pretty taxed just painting them red............

... you may need to turn the nock by 90° - as it should be   ;)  

Nice broadhead! But 909 is a pretty weak spine, carefull that it does not explode - like a rocket - in your bow   :D

I knew that when I built it but took some artist license as you could not see the grove if I cut it the other direction.

I like the cresting job, maybe some barred turkey fletching would help people let go of the missile idea?  :)
I can only imagine my wife's look of disapproval if I suggested this one...
