Finally got these finished up to take to the classic, thus the name of classics. They are a matched set of P.O.C. shafts with self nocks, wild goose fletches, and my target tie on trade points all tied on with sinue. The points were made from a giant hack saw blade and a couple were left with the saw teeth still on for blunts. I kind of like the bananna cut fletches for ease of tieing the back end of fletch.

Can't wait to look at em up close Kenneth. Nice

I had about quit using cedar and using only cane for my arrows, love the cane and bamboo but it is nice to have a set that all shoot the same. Probably need all the help I can get at Pappys not to embarase my self too bad. I came up with this kind of point just to have something home made for my target arrows. Kenneth

Them look good Kenneth! I'm about sick over mine - got started way too late and won't have em done in time :'(.

Those are some beautiful arrows there.I have been wondering how I was going to field point self arrows and seeing what you did gave me the idea.I will use flint or brown bear femur bone inserts instead of metal,but inset them just the way you did. Thanks for the inspiration frank
-

Thanks for the compliments guys, hope some one can use the point design, quite a bit of work but you can nearly always tell your arrows from other peoples. We have had so much wind every day have barley had a chance to give them a proper test. Kenneth

Nice arrows Kenneth. I like the points. Justin

Thanks Justin, Do you ever still make it out this way? Still hope to make it your way some time and pick up rocks and maybe we can still get together on a hunt. Kenneth

The dogs want to go coyote hunting, come over and we will get some with the bows. :o Justin
-
Coyote hunting works for me, do you have greyhounds or I guess I dont know just what you mean about the dogs. Made it out once this winter calling coyotes but don't think any were in hearing range. I love any kind of hunting with a bow. Kenneth

Decoy dogs, or Judas dogs if you prefer that name. They will tease and coax the coyotes right up to you. The coyote are so worried about the dogs you can get a shot off real easy. Justin
-
So Justin do you just use your pet dogs? do you call the coyotes in to your judas dogs? I know that a pack of coyotes will lure your dogs out away from the house and kill them. Do you have a lot of coyotes where you live. Kenneth Kenneth

They are trained pets. These will deliberately annoy the coyote by chasing then retreating. Just like the coyote can bait the dog out, the dog can bait the coyote in. Any dog works to an extent. It helps to have a couple of dogs or one that minds so it don't get to far away and get chewed up. This time of year while the coyotes are denning it is even better since they are territorial. I usually call them, but once they see the dog or the dogs see them, the game is on. My female will go into hunting mode as soon as she hears a coyote, even if it is a mile away. Justin

Man, that sound's like it would be fun to just watch.

Those are awesome Kenneth, I just came across this and glad I did. I like your poin idea. Very nice arrows, It's not windy here if you need someone to give them a good test ;D Keenan
