This is only a test.

I just finished this stone point, river cane shaft arrow. I can shoot them into my Black Hole target, but it’s pretty hard on my target. Usually just give em a shot or two to make sure they shoot good.

Shot this one out of my “Big Bad Wolf” bow From about 10 yards. Arrow straightened out quick, with good arrow flight and penetration. Point went all the way through target. Target isn’t new but still in pretty good shape.

Looks good BJ

PaSteve:
Awesome BJ. Just curious, how much does the knapped head weigh & what's the total arrow weight? Definitely looks like you'll have no problem with penetration on a whitetail.

I guess I didn’t weigh total arrow weight yet. I’m guessing around 600 grains.

The point was 12 grams. I’m not positive, but if I remember correctly I think that’s close to 125 grains. I don’t have a grain scale. If I remember correctly the bow is about 53@27”. I’m guessing I short drew it about a inch. 27” is a pretty good stretch for me but I tried to get it there.

Arrow is tuned pretty good to that bow. Having Arrow straighten out quick and good arrow flight are really important for penetration. Especially at close distance. That’s why I like to test them at about 10 yards.

1 gram is roughly 15.4 grains. (TTB V4 p.312)
