Broadhead covers(boots, etc)?

(1/2) > >>

Hawkdancer:
Help!  Sometime back, there was a thread going that showed how to make covers for broadheads, but I haven't been able to retrieve it.  Anyone have a pattern?

TimBo:
I can try to find the paper pattern I made, but basically I drew a triangle slightly bigger than the broadhead (maybe about 1/8" per side), then drew the same size triangle off of one long edge of the first one (if that makes sense), then traced it onto buckskin, cut it out, folded in half, sewed up or glued one side, all done.  Buckskin seems to work well for me; they pull off inside my Plains-style quiver when removed, but you can turn the quiver over, hold the other arrows, and shake out the broadhead bootie pretty easily.

Hawkdancer:
Makes sense to me, but then I'm into primitive archery and skills, for good or ill! >:D (lol). Should work with bison, too.  Project for rainy day Monday's!  Thanks,
Hawkdancer

That is what I had in mind!  What diameter did you cut  the circle?  I may have to add an edge welt?'
Since I'll be using legal steel points in Colorado!  Have to make up some for stone points for other states! :KN (SH) :-D!
