Twisted... That is an incredible "how to"!  Thanks for posting.  Pat and yourself inspired me today... When I got off work I started working on a set of Ash arrows and I will start working on a set of points for them this weekend... I guess you can never have too many arrows, huh?  :laugh:

In the first post, I stated I lost one point while testing my arrows... Well, I used the foam cushion I was shooting at while testing my arrows, as a seat today while knapping... And I found it... Good thing I wasn't knapping in the buff or I might have got severe brain damage!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

   The design you knap your heads is where its at. I knap all my huntung heads with out barbs. I use a foam block not the hard foam carbon targets. You can shoot your heads into it 1000's of times if you wish..
