Title: Small game head
Post by: SSGN_Doc on January 13, 2010, 06:06:33 pm

I tried my hand at making my own small game head.  Next one will probably use a shankless "broadhead" to minimize the potential for bending.

This one uses a .38 special casing that was slotted and a small broadhead was fashioned from an old flatware knife blade.  The casing was weighted with #7 lead shot to acieve a 125 grain projectile weight.  This was attatched to a Ramin wood dowel shaft with hotmelt glue and artificial sinew to stabilize the blade.

Nice.  Looks like it will make some meat.  Hows it shoot?

Just like my 125 gr field pointed cedar arrows.
