Do many of you use trade points on whitetails? PICS ADDED

[smokeu]

I just made a few trial trade points about a 100grs + - , and was wondering do many of you successfully make kills with these type points. I have some Howard hill broadheads but they are 165gr and dont seem to fly as well. My feild points had only been 125- 100gr. Any thoughts or cosiderations are surely welcome.

thanks

Them look nice Mike....I wouldn't be afraid to Hunt with them at all....but are they Legal in Texas? I am thinking they need to be 7/8" wide here.....

Yea im really not sure the legal dimensions here in TX, on my list to find out though.  Thanks for the compliment.

Mike, that's all I use for deer and hogs.I make mine from band-saw and circ. saw blades.I cut the band saw blades 3 1/2 " long,1" of that is straight tang the width of the arrow shaft,then a 1 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" long triangular point that'll give a  a weight a tad over 150 gr.. I usually build the circ. saw blade a little smaller to get the same weight.if it ends up a little heavy I serrate the blade with a triangular file.Both of these points I temper by heating cherry red,then quench in motor oil.Good huntin' to you this season.Oh,by the way,Mike is right,your points are not legal for deer in Texas,they need to be a minimum of 7/8th ". God Bless
