Title: some hunting points
Post by: bowmo on December 18, 2014, 01:35:51 pm

Well I don't knap much in the winter since knapping indoors is terrible for your health. But, I did plop myself down in the garage the other day and made these.

Leapingbear: Haha, yea they can put the hurt on same game.

jeffp51: These are my standard hunting point shape and are about 2 inches long and 1" wide, and all weight between 155 and 190 grains. I make them out of spalls that about palm sized to start with.

Thanks guys.

Cowboy: I think the bottom white burlington or keokuk (idk what it is) came from you cuz I don't no where else it would have. I really enjoy making matched sets for people using a different stone for each point.

Thanks Marc...that blue reflex deflex I recently made was an homage to all those hours spent looking at your bows back in the early 2000's.
