Iam shooting them out of a longbow with about 55lbs pull. they group pretty well at 20 and at 30 yards they still group pretty well but much past that they start to get wild.

I had an anthropologist friend that made bows and arrows but he was a lousy hunter and could never hit a deer. The little "wings" on the backs of the heads where the shaft attaches are actually designed to break and fly off in the animal and create a larger wound. Pretty amazing technology for primitive people. Good luck.

Nice work! Just read an article on another forum where a guy took a moose with his homemade stone tip. Make sure it's legal to do so in your state. I believe here in Arizona you must have a metal cutting surface.

I have checked with the UDWR and the said there only restrictions are it has to be 7/8 inch wide and has to have two sharp cutting edges. I asked if I could use a stone point and they said they see no reason why i couldnt.

That is neat. Can't wait to see what you poke.
