Glad to see you got it worked out. Those are really nice.

Hawkdancer:
Very nice!  Should make a very durable point for shoots as well.

Sagebrush:
I really like the idea and you produced some awesome points.  What made you go with the w2 steel in the end?

Hrothgar:
Professional quality, nice craftsmanship.

Honestly? I had some w-2 round bar on hand. I also had 52100 round bar but I thought that was a little overkill. I heat treated some and left some annealed. The only time I can tell a difference is if I shoot them into something stupid.... like the side of my anvil (for funzies) just to see what would happen. The annealed heads had a slight deflection at the top when zinged into something heavy and metal. The hardened ones just bounced off...no damage.

If these aren't going into steel targets, I think they could be made out of mild steel and case hardened fairly easily as well. I think I'll try that next. When my new heat treat oven if finished.
