Heavy Hitters Part Two(video added)
« on: March 22, 2013, 11:28:02 am »
Here is the other dozen I am working on right now of my heavy hitting hog arrows. I changed these a little for the original 4 to get a little more weight and a lighter spine. I have six mounted with heads right now, but have to wait on some more inserts to do the rest. I will get the nocks cut in and then sealed good (will gain a few more grains) and then fletched. These will come in over or close to 800 grains.

Yes Fred these are some Ace that I someone gave me a while back in a trade and they weigh in the 170's before sharpening.  Not sure how much I will lose there, but some for sure.

Sorry Fred, they are the Tusker Delta's I believe.  I have my names crossed in some of these trades I have made.  Thanks rkeltner for keeping me straight..... :o

They still look good!! Are those the delta's? I've used and still have the 190gr concordes both single and double bevel. I like the shape of that head. I'll look for some. I know that Tim at Braveheart used to carry the line. The concordes are longer and possibly narrower. Close to the 3:1 ratio. I used to use them back in my FG/Carbon days. First ones I purchased were from Australia. I will say the newer version is better. They are coated and don't rust as bad as the originals. Also the experience I've had with them I prefer the double bevel.

Those are some wicked looking arrows. I'd hate to be any hog within a hundred kilometers of those!

Thanks guys.  These have been fun to play with.  And just to throw something out there, these bamboo raw shafts are spined at 110 lbs....lol.  So much fun to play with.  And Fred, I too am liking these heads.  I am going to look into something like these, but narrower, for deer.

Excellent! If you havent tried/seen the Tuffhead line, you should check them out. 190gr, 225gr and 300gr. Pricey but brutal and tough.
I really like your arrowsmithing.

Well I got 10 out of the dozen that I was working on because two of them just do not want to become arrows.  I now have all the nocks cut in, the sinew wrapped at the nock and the points, and will now do the shrink tubing and put a finish on these and fletch them up.  I will get some pictures up when they are finished.
