Thickness of Bone Points
BryanB:
Andrea-
Bone points are fun to make and shoot. I have only use cannon bones form elk, but I'm sure cattle are similar.
If your worried about the strength, soak them with super glue and re-file the edge. This will add weight and increase strength.
Here is the style I like. I'd also recomend pluging the cane with a heavy wood such as Rami (dowels) to re-inforce and add weight.

Good point Bryan. I should have mentioned that I use osage inserts and nocks to give my arrows weight.
humaza:
that is an awesome point
how much of a weight difference does filling the cane make? why even make an arrow out of cane if you have to fill it?
El Destructo:
Nice Points Bryan....looks like a Meat Getter to me!!
greenbean:
If you use a heavy wood it can add quite abit of mass, which means more kenetic energy transer from the string to the arrow.
Also I have had problems with points (bone or stone) spliting the arrow. In my oppinion if you shoot cane arrow from a high
poundage bow it is safer to use hardwood nocks and point inserts. Another handy thing is if you arrow breaks more times than not, your point will stll be securely fixed in the insert. All you have to do is replace the shaft.
