Good job, was it the camera settings too large?

You posted a thumbnail picture, which is fine.

After you select your picture from your PC or phone, just to the right of the little window where the picture name appears, click ( Insert Attachment 1 ). That will make the picture full size in your post.



Then on second picture click insert attachment 2, and etc for more pictures.

That is AWESOME!
Love it!

I have a question though....
How do stone points stand up to practice shots in a target?...I'm thinking a soft fabric type target would be worth sacrificing...but maybe they hold up to the foam broadhead targets?
Do they dull like steel heads?

Just thinking it would a a lot of work to unmount a touch up a stone head.

Just curious what you guys with stone points do...Keep thinking of trying it out..but I'd like to know some of the little things before I get surprised....lol

I always make a couple extra for shooting foam.  I try to get the weight of the points close to the weight of field tips, then ionce im dialed in i will shoot the foam a few times using the stone.   Ive never really noticed my difference except the stone points tear up my foam targets.   They hold up pretty well as long as you have them mounted securely.   The may need sharpened before using for hunting which will reduce the weight though.  I use titebond III on once the sinew is dried.  it waterproofs the sinew but also provides another layer of attachment.
