Some new broadheads

(1/3) > >>

Kegan:
Having gotten the idea that arrows are pretty important to hitting stuff, I've been playing with design and what not. So, here are my new broadheads. 2 1/2" long, 1 1/8" wide, 1" long "barbs". Made from an old circular saw blade. They just need sanding and linseeding. They have a right helical single bevel on them, and a diamond point. They weigh roughly 150 grains. The hole is for a hand nail rivet, and puts the shaft only about 1/2" from the tip- giving it a short head's power and a long head's cutting angle. Have enough for 9 more. The one on the left was shot several times (until the arrow broke) and flew well- very well. I also did a build along for young archers on Archerytalk on making on of these. What do you guys think?

Hi, I like very Howard Hill style! ;D

1/2primitive:
They's real nice! Why do they need linseeding? And what does it do to the head?

They look deadly Sean, well done.

Kegan:
Sean- linseed helps protect them from water. The blade had started to rust when I started making them.

Cromm- is it that obvious ;) ;D!

Thanks Dana :D!
