Extreme weight forward - Asby style trade point
« on: May 10, 2008, 10:26:14 pm »
Just made this, came out heavier than I planned on at 315 grains but should penetrate at close range. 7/8" wide, three inch long cutting edge, tanto tip, single edge bevel. Just experimenting, guess I need to find a thinner saw blade, but this is hard stuff, I wont worry about it bending on bone. Oh it is beside a 190 grain grizzly for comparison. Maybe it can tame one of my over spined shafts.    Kenneth

That sucker ought to put a big hole in just about anything you're likely to run into out there.

I did a bit more grinding and it now weighs 275 gr. maybe when I get a scary sharp hollow ground bevelit will be about 250. looks like it has bison written all over it. Well we will see how it shoots tomorrow.   Kenneth

That ought to punch a hole is a bison for sure. Your arrows fly so well, I'm curious to see how well they fly with the extreme weight forward.    Pat

Got her mounted up last night and test drove her this morning, best shooting arrow in my quiver. It does not dive at the ground like I thought it would with that heavy of point, shoots flat to 25 yards.That cane is amasing stuff, it is rare to have one not fly good, and most of the time very good. Total arrow weight 750 grains at 18.25% foc  balance. I made it 7/8" wide as that is the Colorado minimum.

Good looking stash, you are a rich man indeed. If you had some of these cane arrows you could be filthy obscenly rich. My freezer quit qnd ruined my last wild game stash, still crying.  Maybe this year.   Kenneth
