Most laws don't allow a barbed point but never heard anything about side notched points.........Looks like if the blade was sharpened the full length of the sides then it shouldn't matter about slots cut into the side.........Make one and send a picture to the law enforcement div of your DNR.

State law requires, "one continues cutting edge from the tip to the end of the head". So, notches are a no-no.
Marc- You think riveting the head on would hold? The whole in the head made me think about Hill riveting ferrule heads on. Just cut out the middle man?
Juniper:
Made a broadhead once with a ferrule. I simply glued a field point onto a screw-in adapter, and chucked it up in a drill. Then I took a metal file and ground it down to shape (mainly to reduce weight). Once I had the shape I wanted, I used dremel to notch the point end, to fit the blade into. I soldered the blade into the ferrule. I shot the heck out of that arrow, and the solder finally cracked. I think it was strong enough to hunt with though. It was quite a process though and I've only done it once. If I can find that arrow, I will send a pic of the point.
madcrow:
I did basically the same thing as Juniper. When i cut the slot for the head, I used pliers to pich the slot so it would be a tight fit, and used JB weld to hold it all together. I think I need to lighten the load or use a different design. Mine tipped the scale at 250 grains. I want to get them closer to 200.
1/2primitive:
I've just cut out a triangle, cut a slot in the shaft and glued it in with epoxy (after sharpening, of course). You need a strong glue because it's harder for glue to hold when there ain't no wrapping to help it. Afterwards, I wrap below the point with sinew.

jamie:
kegan marcs is set up so he can screw it down to the table to sharpen it. small holes drilled into the head will suffice as a wrapping point though. that way you dont need side notches. peace
