Author Topic: New trade points mounted (Read 6978 times)

Got my trade points mounted,they are 160 grain and shoot like darts.They are mounted on Hickory shafts with Turkey feather fletch.I didn't selfnock them because I barrel tapered the shafts and
there wasn't enough wood left.The whole arrow weighs around 650 grains.

They are 50/1000
thick and you can put an edge on them like a razer.

Those trade points are fun huh Pappy. Looking good. Kenneth

Thanks,I made them from a bandsaw blade that came from a big cut off saw at the Nissan plant.I
have a friend that is in the maintenance dept.and when they can't repair the blade they throw them away.He brings them to me and I make knifes,scrapers and trade points.

I really like the looks of them. They look like they'll zip through and keep on truckin.

they sure look deadly. did you sahrpen them on one side (like grizzlys) or both?

Pappy · « **Reply #6 on:** May 20, 2008, 11:05:08 am »

No ,I sharpened them on both sides,I am sure they will do the job,now all I need is for you to come on over and use some on a deer.Maybe someday you can.

Pappy, Those are quite deadly looking and with the hickory shafts you ought to be able to punch a hole in just about any animal you shoot at.
I believe that in NC those would be considered a barbed point(illegal) because of the side slots. I don't get it but apparently the "powers..." don't either.

I wouldn't hesitate to hunt anything with that set-up!

They look good Pappy ! I would think that Hickory would make a tuff arrow !!

Look wicked to me. I'm glad I'm a two legger, and not a four-legger

Very nice, Pappy. Hope you get a deer. Jawge

Thanks,I think they will,if I don't it won't be because of the head.Ya John from what I have seen so far they are tough,a little trouble to get straight but seem to stay straight after you get them straight and sealed.Pat I ant sure on the barbed I guess I should check,but to be honest I don't think or Warden would know the difference,he already thinks I am crazy for hunting with the stuff I hunt with anyway. Dana I will measure them and get back to you I think they are 1 inch wide and
1 3/4 long and made out of 50/1000 thick band saw blade,they weight 160 grains.
