Title: Latest Points
Post by: bowtarist on October 12, 2011, 12:09:23 am

Got me a scale from the wife for my bday today.  Pretty stoked about it.  The first pic here are some of my better points of the last week or so.  Once I got the scale, it put size into perspective for me.  Most of my early points were in the 30 to 70 grain range.  I had a few that broke 100 grains.  2nd pic are two that I like, left burlington, 110 gr. rgt., 70 gr. under heat treated burlington.  3rd, 113 gr. from a big spall, hard as heck.  Fouth, my bday point, 142 gr. made from the bottom of a ceramic storage dish.  Wish I had a lot more of this stuff.  I felt under control while making this point.  Poor pic though, got dark on me.  ;D  Thanks for lookin and I like replys, dpgratz

Looks like your learning fast in a few months you will be cranking them out! I think that pink rock is the best!!! I could be a little bias though...
