Good timing!
Just getting into this bamboo arrow making thing.
I've many questions that I'm finding answers for by looking here.

That is definately a "keeper" idea.
Had a few ideas, but weight was a issue. That seems to answer the call very well.

Thanks for posting it!

9mm shell casing, punch out the primer, insert a nail that fits. cut the nail about 1/2 inch long and sharpen to a point. You can even melt lead into them, to bring the weight up.

ive made a couple like that, and i think they would work awsome for small game as well.

Used to use the .38 special case on my POCs.
Cross drilled with my old used bass guitar strings inserted for bird snare arrows w/ flu-flus.

Little John, how did you attach the brass head, Brazed?

Yep, just melted on a glob then chucked up the nail in a drill motor and spun it with the drill while grinding. It is hard to get a good uniform glob that will grind real good. if it is lopsided the point will not be a perfect cone. About half of mine come out good and half are culls.      Kenneth

Looking good.

I'll have to give that a try.
