bamboo Broadhead
Cacatch:
You have just done what natives did thousands of years go - thought of something that would, and should, work - and used it. Sometimes it's easy to forget that a broadhead doesn't have to be indestructible to get the job done. Hardened wood, bamboo, rawhide and probably other materials can do the trick if done correctly. And like others have said, bamboo can get pretty sharp.
This type of pragmatic thought process I believe, is the epitome of primitive archery. ;)
Hillbilly:
Looks good. Yeah, boo will get sharp enough to make functional knives from. Dick Bernier made a couple of bamboo heads like that a few years ago, and they worked good, just a little light in weight.
Sparrow:
My best arrows are always the ones that shoot straight before I fletch or attach a point. Then being point light does'nt seem to be a problem at all. ' Frank
bowkee:
