Is the Goose Egg from the String...or did the broken Arrow get you??? I have a Friend that stuck Himself when a Dowel Arrow that He made broke....and went straight into his Forearm at the wrist....not a pretty site to see...... Just be thankful that when and where it Broke....that it didnt come back and stick into your Forearm......

Very deadly looking arrowheads.  Nice. ;D

Too bad about the broken one.

Thanks guys. Mike: I'm pretty sure it was the string that got me - their's about an eight inch peice of that shaft MIA. Walked all over down range but can't find it - hope it's not buried in my arm somewhere and I just can't feel it ;D.

Dang Paul those are some of the most beautifull arrows I have seen. Do you shoot them for target practice too? I will have to start making some in that fashion. Are they the cahokia style?

Thanks fallers ;D. It didn't hurt all that bad - I've had lots bigger and purplish goose eggs than that, hehe..
 David, I shoot em enough into that sofa cushion to get a good feel for where their gonna hit. Those are Ishi style points as closely as I know how to make em. They'll sure bust through a rib bone without a problem and don't have barbs that I can see so I like em :).

  Look like some meat getter's, Paul. I feel for you on the welt. The first time I met Pat was at a shoot in Elberton, Ga. I had two knocks break in a row. With the string slapping the welt from the first break. I was about to cry and found it real hard to play after that.

I will definitely be making some of those points for my arrows. Nice job!

Those are awesome Paul.  How in the name of all things decent do you get your points so thin?  I've got a couple I've been working on and I was barely able to get then in a shaft due to thickness.  I've been tempted to try and use a big flake as a point, but I can't seem to get the "Bulb" off either.  I'm hoping to have at least three done to hunt with.
