awesome arrows! good coloring job.
how long is the steel point's part which is covered by the shaft? (i don't know if you will understand this).
do you have a picture of an unmounted steel point?

Great Job on those Apache arrows...they look spot-on just like the originals I've seen.
JackCrafty:
Thanks for the complements guys. :)
Thomas, I didn't measure them ...but the tangs on the steel arrowheads are about 3/8" long. If you look at trade points found in the Southwest, you will see that some were small, diamond-shaped, and with short tangs. Of course, there was a lot of variation in trade points and the NA's themselves made arrowheads from steel also. There was a lot of variation not only between tribal groups but within the tribes and even within the same set of arrows. There is no "standard" shape.
The sharpening of the trade points varied also. Some were not sharpened at all, some were bevelled one one side of each edge, and some were bevelled on both sides of each edge.
Hope that wasn't too much info.
