What are the weight of your heads?

I forgot to check 'em after the final hone, but after the final grind (about as fine as a file sharpened head) they were at 172, 174 (4) and 176gr.  I worked the tanto tip of the 176gr head a little more than the others, so I think it's safe to say they're all in a 3gr spread.

The final grind was at about 22-23 degrees, then they were put in my KME broadhead jig (thanks Ron!) for a slightly higher polished edge - out to a hard arkansas stone.  .062" 1075 steel.  I never degreased 'em through the multiple annealing cycles... I love the patina on those heads!

Great looking heads. Please post some pics when you get them mounted to shafts, and of course, your trophy pics to follow!

Looks very nice.I knew an old bowyer,hunter that used trad points he made.Once told me thats all he ever hunted with other than killing a few bucks with knaped points in over 50 years of building and hunting with self bows.

I will be using them in May at the "Too many Hogs" hunt if all goes well. I think they are going to be deadly!!!
