My first Arrows.. Bone points and some hafting questions

I used the garden stake buildalong for the most part but didnt want to use duplex nails. so eventually i decided on the cowbone.. femur i think. i buy these as dog chews and have enough bones to make a few dozen points.. i used some artificial sinew i had from old leather projects to do my wrapping.. all soaked in superglue.. the 1 arrow i did finish flew straight and survived the target and a bunch of shots in the dirt diggin holes and skipping across the yard
i did have a hard time hafting the point.. anybody got any videos or tutorials for traditional hafting of points that they can link me to? i eventually got it on and straight wrapped and soaked and its solid now. and im happy with it there just gonna be some beater arrows for the target and maybe squirrels and groundhogs around the house
they are a 2 feather fletch.. just so i could conserve the fletchings i DO have..

Looks like they turned out just fine for you. If you cut a slot in the end of the Tonkin that will receive the bone point and then use the art sinew and glue to haft it up.

Nice arrows and look to be hitting the mark, thats the most important job an arrow has. Well done.
