Title: Bone Point
Post by: Boudreaux on August 11, 2012, 08:00:47 pm

Alright I got a piece of Moose paddle from the TN Classic. I have finally got it all squared up(hand tools and hand sanding takes a while). Now I am looking to lay out the shape and get to the fun part. Here is a picture of the design that I have that I think I am going to go with. I am looking to get it close to 190 gr as that is what the rest of my points are. Here is the twist, I am going to go with a single bevel on this bone point. Does this design look like it will work?

I am very curious to see what people have to say about this. I've been thinking a lot about bone points lately, and I'd like to try my hand at them sometime in the near future.

Should work fine.  How are you going to attach them to the shaft?

  Thats a BIGGGGGGGGGG POINT. I under stand it has to be to get the weight.
  I made a few from moose antler. But only made mine 1x3 and raped lead wire behind the head to get the wieght I wanted. Some I drilled a hole where the pit is and add the lead wire in it to get the weight.
  Here's another thing to think of. Make the backs tappered not square or barbed.
  Those square backed points work lose perty quick pulling out of a target. When their just tied on.
