Title: just the head for hunting insects!
Post by: paleFace on July 02, 2009, 09:14:00 PM
went to visit an old friend today and to pick up a few knapped heads.  He had this one in the box and ask if I could use it for one of my up coming hunts.

The guy that actually knapped this point lives in Huntingtown MD. His name is Daniel White. apparently he does something called micro knapping.  this point is actually 1/8" wide.

Need bigger heads for the skeeters down here I dont think you would get very good penetration/bloodtrail with such a small head.

That is really impressive.  That is the knapping equivalint of tying about a size 24 dry fly.  Very neat.  Although I am inclined to agree with La. Bowhunter: need much larger heads for the skeeters I seem to run into.  about 160 grains is a good starting point!!   ;)
