This years goal is to hunt with all homemade equip. I made the bow and the arrows and the quiver and the finger tab. I also want to hunt with homemade broadheads. I am using .040 thick saw blade material. I rough cut the shape with a Dremel tool and finish the shaping on a bench grinder.



I reshaped a field point to be a little more streamlined.



I used a steel jig to saw a groove in the field point.







Then I pressed the two pieces together. When I finish all of them I will braze them, polish them and use gun bluing to keep them from rusting.





The finished head weigh 165 grains. and I use a cold bluing to protect them.

Absolutely amazing. I'm impressed with the making of simple trade points; this just blows my mind...

Sticshooter... just from the looks of them I'd say they weigh right at 165 grains... of course that's just my best guess and what I read on his post.  :D
