What to use for target points?

(1/5) > >>

Ballasted_Bowyer:
Looking for idea simple and primitive. Metal preferred. Bow will be 60-70lb reflexed wood bow.

osage outlaw:
What kind of arrow shaft material are you using?   Duplex nails work great for cane and bamboo.

Ballasted_Bowyer:
Douglas fir saw ripped and planed.

nclonghunter:
Not sure how primitive you are wanting but antler tines drilled out can be glued on. Hardwood dowels can be added to tips. I have used a tapered metal nail punch to wrap thin brass around and use those for points. They make a sort of cone like a orange traffic cone without the base stand. Brass and copper kettles were a trade item and was converted to points once worn out or damaged. Just some ideas.

Pat B:
Here are a few options whether you use hardwood shoots, doweled or cane arrows. For your hand planed arrows the metal strips or something similar should work. you could also use bone, antler or horn for these.
