I can see you are using circular sawblades for some of the knife blades. do you also use that for the broadheads? if so, what are your broadhead measurements? Have you weighed a finished one yet?

Yes for the broadhead as well, I got tons of old ones lying around... I think its 3" long, 2" blade, 1" tang, and about an inch wide? I dont have a scale so i was just winging it...figured if it was dropping the tip too much I could drill some lightening holes in it but it flew straight...

We are only limited by our imaginations! Seems like the list keeps getting longer and longer!
