cheap small game broadheads from copper tubing

[Red Tailed Hawk]

Here is what tinkering in the basement has produced. All thats needed is 3/8" copper tubing and few hand tools.

 

Typical roll of copper tubing. I found a 2" length of tubing with the V broadhead shape cut in is about 125 grains. Cut longer or shorter to adjust weight.
I use screw driver to swedge copper to expand it enough to fit snug on 5/16 shaft. I then hammer end section of tubing flat with hammer and cut in V shape.
 
 

I use file to sharpen broadhead .note "copper will not take a real good edge"

 

This is the one I like best. Should have some stopping power.
 

This head will slide right on any 5/16" bareshaft.

They shoot great and are very easy to make.

Interesting idea, let us know how they hold up and how they perform. You could also glue them on without flattening for a blunt.
