I can't help you, but keep this in mind; a good knapped point takes about an hour to make. Most of us carry only 4-6 arrows while hunting. Personally, I only prepare six arrows for hunting, and carry four. I have never broken/lost more than two in a season. Why do you want so many?

I have some cut out (not sharpened) made from a skill saw blade, and can cut some out of a band saw blade. What do you have to trade? Ed

Ed sent me a "few" maxi balls for my smoke pole last year to! Just a "few" pounds worth!

Hello PD, Hope all is well with you and yours. How did those maxi-balls work out for you? I'm about to make me some more, let me know if you need any. Ed

Ed I never got a chance to sight the gun in with them last year and had to use the same rounds I had been. I WILL make it happen this summer, I promised myself to. I want the simplicity of a bullet and only a bullet. No patches and no sabots.
