Cane Arrow - Target Points
« on: April 26, 2008, 11:40:31 pm »
Cowboy, got to work on your points today at work. here are what they look like, still need a little clean up. Made fron 16 penny nail and they weigh 140grains. weight can be decreased by shortening the nail. they shine up real good with a little shooting. If you have got to ask how much they cost you can't afford them, oh I am talking about how much they cost the oil company.   Kenneth

Here is one I installed in a cane arrow, the longest one in the last pic. The colored bands behind the point is thread serving set in glue. This particular point weighed about 128 gr so I left the shank full length.
   These points work very well for cane arrows, Kenneth. Now if I can only remember where the rest of them are. ;D       Pat

Funny coincidence- I was putting  points on some cane arrows today and I came across three of these same points that Pat gave me a year or two ago and I had completly forgotten about. I put one of them on an arrow, shoots great. Kenneth, you're on to something there, I like 'em.

I build it up with brass by braze welding with a torch and brass welding rod and then spin them with a drill moror while gringing to a point. I got the idea while using a regular nail for a blunt, then thinks I can make a pointed one. The only reason I don't use them more is because I mostly mount stone or trade points on my cane arrows. They are perfect for three d targets  and I have never seen any one else with them so they are pretty  unique.    Kenneth

Maybe you had best just borrow it.  Just kidding, use the idea if it works for you.    Kenneth

Just came across this Kenneth - cool idea, thanks. I have several fletched shafts in the truck that I was going to put stone points on, now I can have more to loose at targets ;D. See ya there..

I was wondering about welding a washer to a nail. The short end of the nail would be the point, the washer would be the stop against the end of the shafts, the rest of the nail would be the tang glued into the shaft.

Mark, should work good. Would give the point a way to seat into the shaft, then you would have a nail point that would not push back into the shaft if you hit something solid.   Kenneth
