Penetration test for pigs

[mullet]

  Here's three, little points I've mounted on for shafts. Like I said in another thread, that after reading that informative article Billy wrote I wanted to try some on hogs. These points are mounted on Hard Maple shafts, I wanted weight, as much as I could get with these tiney points. They came out, after sanding around 95 grns. Mounted in the cane arrow the total was 550grn.

  I shot a 100 grn field point on this arrow to see how it would fly and it was straight and fast out of my 60# Osage. I will be going for shots like I had with my pistol the last time I went to that ranch. They were about 8 to 10 feet.

  If I shoot and recover one I'll try my hand at being a writer. Oh, almost forgot, that , Fine, cane arrow was made by Steve Parker (hillbilly).

I like that set up Eddie.  Maybe the boo shaft will come out and leave the forshaft in.  That will leave the hole open to bleed while the point and forshaft stay in to cause more damage.    Justin

 That's what it is supposed to do Justin. The Boar hog Chris Cade killed was shot with the same set up. The foreshaft shot out of the socket and cut the heart in half. But it was a Grizzly point I think. I've used foreshafts like this before with field points on targets. When the cane comes into contact with the target the foreshaft is like somebody going through the windshield.

sweet!!!

Nice work my man!!

Great looking points  and arrow.  It just strikes me as logical that a smaller, narrower point would penetrate deeper.  If you were stabbing someone with a stilletto knife wouldn''t it penetrate more easily than a  shovel.  This is a large exaggeration , but I'm sure you all get the point . (Pun intended)

Nice set up. The two Parker combo should be killer!      Pat

Very nice

[D. Tiller]

Yep! Thats why I have to glue mine in for target points!

 Thanks guys, and, if you can't tell got the garden planted two weeks ago also.

 Nice set up Eddie. Can't wait to see the results. They look deadly and would hate to get hit with one of those.  Garden??? Everything is just starting to freeze up here and getting in the low 20s and teens this week. Should be able to plant our garden again in May

   Keenan, It's just getting cool enough so stuff doesn't burn up, here. Planted peas, corn, beans, fall squash and cilantro. Habaneros and Thai peppers, pineapples and collard greens are from last year. And won't be long for the oranges and lemons.

 Looks deadly. I was admiring them collards,all we got available here is canned,(which is everybit as terrible as canned spinich). How many inches from the tip of the point to where the shaft and fore-shaft join ?  Frank

[mullet]

 It's pretty close to 6", Frank. I was going to wack the collards down when I got back from Brazil. But they started looking good after I cleaned them up.

That's a good looking arrow Eddie, and definitely ought to do the job especially at the short distances you're talking about. I kind of liked how my cane arrow behaved with the deer I took this year. It ran past some saplings with the arrow sticking out...instead of breaking off like a cedar shaft typically will, it stayed intact hitting tree's as the deer ran past, causing the broadhead to rip through the inside of the deer causing massive damage. She only ran about 30 yards!

By the way, I've just about got one of the tonkin cane arrows finished all but tapering the tip for a broadhead. It straightened easier then the local river cane I've used partly due to fewer nodes to contend with. I didn't get to spine test or weigh it yet, havn't made it down to the club the last couple of days.
