I agree with Morgan. How such do they weigh Dylan?

Ryan most of the states changed the laws to make barbs legal now. All those mechanical broadheads from compound and crossbow shooters must have got them to change rules. Might want to check your rules for your state again.

All you need to nick these out is a angel grinder with a cut off wheel(and a face shield)

I’ve not weighed them yet (have too find the kitchen scale  ::))

I made em with the barbs because I thought they looked better  (lol)
I’m going to make one with more barbs for bow fishing.
See if I can get a gar or carp.

Why do fishing points have multiple barbs? It's done all over the world so there must be a reason. ???

Fish must be softer than mammal flesh. Or maybe, it just occurred to me, you don't have to pull a deer in with a string like you do with a fish.

Probably has something to do with the fact that if the arrow falls,out of the deer, you dont have to swim in waternwith who knows what to pick it up.
