Title: wanted 1 arrow head
Post by: ricmil48 on February 27, 2010, 02:38:44 pm

Does anyone have (1) glass arrowhead that they are willing to part with. I am new to the traditional archery scene and would like to try and attach one to one of my over spined arrows. I am a low budget shooter and cannot spend much so please let me know and we will go from there.
Thank you.........Rick

If your shafts are too heavily spined you will need a heavy stone point weighing well over 125 grs.   Leave your shafts long and you can reduce the spine weight by 5# per inch for each inch over 28".

alright
well i have obsidion,not glass but volcanic glass.
some of natures finest
im not gonna say a thing about how if its just a wall hanger how you probably have time to learn the basics of knapping to be able to make a point for the wall
or even to shoot.

you say you dont want to spend much,well thats good cause i wont charge you one copper cent for an arrow head


but what ya got to trade  >:D >:D ;D ;)

i would be willing to give one up,but material aint free for me and it takes a little time to make them,not to mention trades are good  ;D

I would like to have one arrow head to make up a wall hanger on a bamboo shaft I have. The longer the better (within reason). What would you charge for a single head ??

Thanks
Dwight
