Anyone make their own Field Points? Added Pics and Video
uwe:
I make them on a lathe. Myaterials: brass, aluminium, steel, stainless steel. I bore them cylindrical. Diameter of bore belongs to dia of bamboo. I have drills will steps in 1/10 mm upwards.
I use hot glue sticks from Pattex. Heated on a campinggasstove.

that nail idea is the best ever. i just made me 20 of those type at work. course i used our mig welder and 6d nail. sure is hard to pull a puddle of weld on top of a nail head!
Tsalagi:
A member just posted some arrows he made (Broadhead is his name) that he used a screw to make a field point. You could screw the screw into the shaft, cut off the head, and then file a point on it.
Lombard:
9mm shell casing, punch out the primer, insert a nail that fits. cut the nail about 1/2 inch long and sharpen to a point. You can even melt lead into them, to bring the weight up.
Tsalagi:
Hey, that' a great idea, Lombard! I'm going to try that!
