Stone point tests.
« on: November 19, 2025, 12:16:13 pm »
I made two sacrificial arrows with my least favorite points. This is my first time testing stone points.

They did great, with decent penetration until I backed up and shot high with both. They punched through the backdrop and hit 2" thick pine. You can guess what happened  (lol)

Even if a stone point hits bone and breaks the broken edge is quite sharp and can add to the lethality.
 Looks like you are using hardwood shoots shafts. What are they?

Nice. I've only made a few wild rose shafts. I use mostly sourwood or hill cane. I've made a few red osier and viburnum shafts also.

Gadda love that type experimental testing. How did they do for penetrating the pine?
