| Since attending the big Trad shoot in Michigan (Compton) left me without any broadheads for this years hunt, I needed to make more.
I use 125 grain field points and reshape them to remove the shoulders. this step may not be necessary buy It looks nice. :roll:
the blades are cut from a .039 thick bandsaw blade.
the jig for slotting the field point is made of steel and clamps the point while the spacer (piece of hacksaw blade) Leaves room for the saw to pass between the two halves to cut the slot.
I then polish the two pieces and make sure I have a good fit up.
Next I braze the two parts together although I think solder or even J.B. Weld would suffice. I may try this on the next batch because brazing is messy and I have to quench afterward to make sure the heads are hard.
After cleaning and polishing again, I use a cold bluing to protect the heads and then a light coat of oil.
Finished weight, 165 grains. about 1 inch wide (15/16) and 1 1/4 long.

| WOW!!! There you go again!!! You amaze me every time you do one of these things. You are really truely a very handyman.
I just wish I had a shop or someplace to do this kind of stuff. When I was in school I loved working with metal and wood. But I never got to do any of it outside of the schools shop class. | |

I'm hunting with a longbow and wooden arrows. I want a heavy broadhead and shaft. Somewhere around 500-600 grains. I only plan to take shots 15 yards and less. This is not for everybody.
