Blunts

[Steve Cover]

Does anyone have a favorite small game blunt arrow head?

If so, how do you make it?

Most of the people I know, use nutters.  After tapering a wood shaft, just take a 3/8 nut and screw it up on the shaft.  For other type of arrow with and insert....take a 8-32 screw, put a wingnut on it and screw it up into the insert.

I don't do much small game hunting with my bow but I usually have a nutter or two on hand

 Hear are a few that I made, these were my first experiments with home made judo's, they are a little crude but I've got those warheads perfected now and they work great. The center is sharp ground to sever the wings and legs of small game.

 My bad here are the pics.

Hey Eddie, not working for me as well.  The message is not available or not allowed, same message as I get from the "everything else" board since it is off line.  Is it in that section, and you can get to it because you're a Mod?

Very impressive....

Questions:

Are the pistol casing barbs held with solder?

How well do the forks fly?

Taken much game with them?

Thanks for sharing,

See it now.  Thanks

 Steve, yes they are pistol casings with small nails that are just hammered flat after inserted and a screw in the tips.  Those do a fair amount of damage and hit hard but are messy. The forks I really like . These first ones were crude hand forged trials but now I've got it down and made some improvements I'll try to get some more pics of the newer ones.
 They fly real straight and absolutely work great for grabbing the grass dirt or leafs when the shot misses.  i hit a pheasant with a few and they did really good. One that I had hit it the wing shoulder had severed the wing and busted most the ribs on that side but did not penetrate the surface other then the barbs. So not much meat ruined.

They really look like they would stop small game in their tracks.

I'm going to have to try that.

Appreciate the info.

Thanks,
