Never seen any like that, definatly need pics!! I bet they would pack a punch, pretty dense wood isn't it?

Make sure your tools are sharp. Purpleheart is tough on tools, it will catch, chip and splinter.

I have some 3/8" purple heart shafts I made. The arrows turn out over 1000 grains. They about blast through anything!

3/8" should spine out at about 200# based on the teeny tiny ones I have that go 60's.
