Author Topic: Mounting a flint head ..Pictorial mysticguido ***unregistered*** posted              Thanks Micky & Pat, I want to get some points and try my luck at it. You Both do great work from I have seen on here and You both are very helpful in showing/telling how to do things. You both reinforced what I was thinking and I just wanted to make sure of that. Now going by the pic of the spining point, if the tip is off (from being knapped) wouldn't that make it wobble? if so would you use a arrow spinner ( the kind they make these days? )to check for trueness. IP: Logged |  Pat B Trad Bowhunter Member # 477 posted                     Sal, I've never used an arrow spinner. That will only tell you if the shaft is straight and I use mostly hardwood shoot arrows and none of them are straight. If an arrow and point spin true as Mickey has shown, it should fly true. I have mounted points that weren't flat on all plains but with a little adjustment when hafting the point, the arrow will spin true. If you're buying stone heads or have some you have made or someone gave you, check all sides to be sure it's as true as possible. Quite a few heads that I have look great if looking at the 2 flat surfaces(arrowhead shape) but if you turn them on edge they favor one side more than the other. Some of these will never be hafted on arrows. Pat -------------------- Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!

I can't use them kind of points here in Jersey, but I'm plainning on moving back down to Texas and I'll get some then and try them... Great Tut Mickey...& Thanks again Pat. Happy New Years Guys IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        per Flntknaps suggestion I went back down and added some more sinew to the hafting on these heads Hey Sal you'll notice the second one in from the right in the bottom pic is the one in the spin test above. That should do it!

AS of right now hopefully I'll be moving to Texas by Febuary 1st 2007, this way I can use them as well. Happy & Safe New Years every1 IP: Logged |  Ray Hammond SPONSOR Member # 607 posted                        I've seen a bunch of critters shot with stone points...and I have to say, the wound channels are in almost every case what you would describe as AWESOME! They are not slits, but rather holes that would be difficult for even a hog to close up with fat...and the blood trails have been nothing short of spectacular. I haven't seen a marginally hit animal with a stone point, so can't comment on that...but as Mickey says, if you put it where its supposed to go you are going to be amazed at how well they work. And after the shot, its generally not any less sharp than when in your quiver previously. If you mistakenly cut yourself with one you will quickly learn how effectively they work- the wounds I've given myself with stone material I've ended up super glueing because they woudlnt close up any other way. Check your state laws to be sure you are doing it legally...your mileage may vary. -------------------- "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man..."

I bought some agate heads from a popular seller on ebay and took a pic of some and the weight of each. These heads aren't the best or as sharp as I'd like but were something to work with. -------------------- ncboman Have Bow >>>-------> Will Travel Posts: 281 | From: out behind a barn in northeastern NC | Registered: Mar 2006  |  IP: Logged |  the Ferret Trad Bowhunter Member # 103 posted                        ncbowman..look like plenty heavy heads but perspective is difficult without something of known size.
