<< < (8/8)

recurve shooter:

nugget:
Very cool 8)
 I will have to try and make those for my next project. I like em ALOT

D. Tiller:
Anyone done those horn points out of something like Ipe or some other hard wood? I think a thick dowell put in a drill might work! But I do like the looks of that horn!!!  ;D

GregB:
Would horn points or wood points have adequate weight without making them longer or adding something else for weight in the end of the arrow? They seem like they might be lite to me, but they look really good.

welch2:
Greg ,the biggest point ,the one I made in the photos above weighs 41 grains .The white one weighs 20 grains ,and the smallest point, the black point weighs 15 grains.

But they still shoot good . You just have to plan around them a bit. I put them in canes ,big end of the cane forward . And make either just a tad longer than heaver pointed shafts or a little under spined . They seem to do pretty good on shafts with more taper toward the nock end . You know the canes you might otherwise cull ,because the nock end is to small without building it up with a tailshaft type nock.
