I straightened a rivercane shaft in about 15 minutes. Fastest and easiest for me ever. I then mounted this obsidian head to it. Fletch it tomorrow and send it for test flight. I touched this point up while in Iraq so I thought it might have some good mojo. If it flies good it'll be in my quiver soon.

Definitely has the cool mojo working.
Thanks for your service and take care.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Nicely done sir! Good luck with that missile!
Nice....now put it where it counts first chance you get!! :thumbsup:
Beautiful arrow, nice work.
Way nice.
That's a beautiful head and emanates Mojo for sure. Good luck Jim, I hope your season is the best ever and you get the chance to use that bad boy!
Go get him. :thumbsup:
Looks like a killer to me Jim! Go get it bloody!
Excellent piece of workmanship. Just curious. What does it weigh grain wise?
I didnt weigh it but I'd guess 140. I need to sharpen it a little more after I shoot it some.
Very well crafted and I thought Night wing had an interesting question concerning weight.Looks lethal!
How do you sharpen a head like that?
JamesV,
I read one time you re-nap the edge using a pressure flaker. Just the edge and it is basically a new edge
ooooooooooo dat's nasty lookin' :scared:
That is really cool. Maybe too cool to shoot.
:thumbsup:
That is one GOOD looking point!
Good luck with it.

To sharpen I just run another series of small flakes down each eadge exposing better than razor sharp micro cutting surfaces. Thanks guys.
Best of luck to you with that head. You gonna write a message on it like a real warhead? Good luck.

If I get it through deer I'll retire it I guess.
Jim, what kind of target do you shoot it into to test it out? Sand? Foam?
Looks great , can't wait for the follow up story!!
I use styrofoam.
That's a great looking war head....
Here's another.....

Shoots great but hits consistantly 6" high and 6" left. Too stiff perhaps.
Those are the 2000 lb, gps guided variety.
