Ideas for homemade practice points

[nugget]

I am looking for new ideas for points you can make yourself. I have a few but am looking for inspiration

[leapingbare]

man i have seen a bunch of ppl post ideas of homemade points on here.

Nugget, you got empty .38 cal cartridge cases. The primer hole can hold a sharp nail or turn it around, the head of a nail to make it stronger and heavier. You also got rectangle, .06 to .090 thick about 3/8 wide by about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch long, steel saw blades you can cut and slot the shaft. These are absolutely devastating on small game.  Length will determine weight. That is an LJ (Kenneth G.) innovation. I've seen copper and steel wire wrapped around the shaft and CA'ed on. There is a whole lot more out there.

Dick, I think the metal rectangle inserts were Kenneth's Idea or at least thats where I got them from. Pat

Your right Pat. That is who gave me mine too. Sorry Kenneth    I will whip myself 50 lashes.     I corrected the post.

Simple cartridge blunts work best for me. Still get stuck in the dirt every once in a while, but they can't get dull and easily replaced. They also tear those evil Cocacola cans to shreds when they charge you .

i hate them dang things. nothing more than a nuisance. and you cant turn you back on them either or theyll jump you. yup i try and shoot every one of them cola cans when i see them.

[nugget]

I hate those rampaging stumps. You got to shoot to kill when you draw down on them.

I have some scrap stuff laying around i have been playing around with. Will try and post if they work out

Thanks guys

Those sure stick in a target well. I think I remember watching Kenneth nearly get a hernia pulling them suckers out!

hey, those inserts look perfect!

[nugget]

I think I saw one Pat had at Hickory. I  will try them along with the nail and brazing rod tip.

The arrows Little John shows have obvious pointed tips. I used them squared off and hit a squirrel with one. Looked like a frag grenade went off in his head. Lucky shot.

Kenneth how do your points work for stump shooting?

[Little John]

David, nice to talk to you and really was nice to meet and shoot with you in Tenn. , yea they work just like a field point. They will break if you hit a rock. I made it thru the classic with an intact dozen but now have broken two of them. No falt of the points, was shooting in strong wind and the arrow was flying crooked when it went into a hay bale. If you look close, two of my arrows have serrated saw teeth , square point blunts. Should work well on small game and shoot and stick into a hay bale like a field point.      Kenneth
