I'm going to make some steel trade points, what dimensions would be appropriate for taking white tail? Thanks,
Swamp

Swamp Bow:
That's what the plan was, but I thought I'd ask to see if there was better option. Thanks.

Bjorn, I just made a 1 1/8"line and connected the corners to the tip. Pretty much a 2 to 1 ratio and legal. I cut notches in later with a chain saw file.

Swamp,if your using band saw blades,you can make a 150 gr. point like this; 3 1/2" total lenght,1 1/4" wide, the triangular blade being 2 1/2" long ,with a 1 " tang
with a circular saw blade,try 3" total, 2" blade,1"tang. I usually cut mine out a little larger,so if they're to heavy,just grind a little off to desired weight. God Bless
