I knocked these 2 out this evening while waiting for supper, nothing fancy but have got so it doesn't take all night to make something, still not ready for the ten speed contest but gettin there. The obsidian was made from a real blocky type that a year ago all I would have is gravel an frustration. Thanks for lookin. Bob

Nice points BOB!
-
I see em Bob ! Looks nice. What is the other rock beside the obsidian ?
-
Nocams, The other point is some Kentucky blue that I got from either Shannon or Jesse. Nice stuff. ;DBob
-
Very nice, Bob. That Kentucky Blue can get addicting.
-
Yep, my son Mason likes that KY blue too.
-
Critter killers there Bob! You won't have any trouble getting some ammo made before deer season :).
-
Very nice bob.
I broke 2 last night, you did better then me. :)
Its good to do them in less time but try not to get in a rush and forget to set up good platforms.
The KY blue is bad about leaving those fingernail flakes that don't detach, Take you some bee's wax and melt it on there it will hide those.
Thats a fine hunting point whats the wight?
-
Jesse, got in a hurry an didn't wax that one :( I just went a weighed it, about 110 grains on my junky scale ;D I really should slow down an set things up better especially when they start getting thin ::) Thanks Bob
-
