Nutter points

[Postman]

I was reading the "how many arrows"  thread, and Have a strange feeling I'm playing straight man for a coupla dozen folks, but here goes.....

what's a "nutter" point? 
 
I think I might hesitate to ask for pictures....But they might be useful!

Postman, I love a good straight man so here goes.
  OK here are a few pics of nutters I have made.  What I do is add a taper to the arrow like for a field point, screw on a nut and add super glue to the threads and shaft tip. The glue is optional but strengthens the tip so I do it.     Pat

Nice!
A little penetration and a lotta whollop.......Can't wait to make some for bushytails this  october. Sooner if my bird feeder keeps getting assaulted

I've had good success with a mixture of vaseline/cayenne on the feeder pole, though!

Bird seed robbers are what I use them on mostly. I might have to try the vasoline/cayenne mixture.
   The good thing about nutters is you do get some penetration along with the whollop. These things are devastation on skirlz!       Pat

...bet they would turn the easter bunny into easter dinner rather efficiently to.

for your flu flus Pat what are you using, for fletchings?

Ill bet a nutter will raise heck on a bird feeder if you miss the squirrel.  Justin

[recurve shooter]

true that.

[Pat B]

Keeps you sharp, Justin.    
HT, that is a single stripped full length feather wrapped around the shaft. Only uses one feather(or 1/2 feather if you strip your own), goes down quick and makes a very effective flu flu.      Pat

Man I just learned something.     I'd always wondered how to fletch a flu-flu.  Thanks for playing the straight man there Postman.

Justin - shot a bushytail on the feeder with a pellet gun,  - slug hit his skull on on side, richocheted off and shattered /dumped the feeder. Wife was next to me, unfortunately. She mentions it often.
