Title: 1/4 inch arrow point crimper ?
Post by: macbow on April 21, 2012, 03:31:00 PM
Anyone have a source for a crimper for the slide on 1/4 inch points?
Thanks, Ron

Tap lightly with a center punch on all 4 sides. It worked for me, Ron. How's the world been treating you.

Hi Jerry, not doing bad. I've done the center punch thing in the past. Probably what I'll do. Was hoping to do all at once.

I have used the stripper part of a wire stripper tool(the sharp part) and just crimped it at the top of the point.

Thanks, I have several wire crimper's, might do a little surgery to make some bumps on one of the smooth jaws.

get some 1/4 glue on points and you'll be much happier

MACBOW.
I must be one of the only people that have such a tool..It's old and a fella gave it to me about 10 years ago for doing a plumbing job and not taking no money so he gave me some old archery gear and that tool was the best part...I can send it out to ya to use if ya send it back but I first need to see what size shafts it will do cause I never used it...I was going to see about finding some of those crimp on points for my two daughters..OOPS  make that three daughters cause we are about to adopt one more...Let me know if you would like to try it and I'll need an address to send to..God Bless, Keefers <><

I'd advise 70 gr. glue ons. The crimpes will probably fail pulling out of targets.
