.38 caliber or .357 with some lead shot loaded in to desired grain weight. Then just glue em on.

Super deadly, too. I've shot tons of game with them and always come away smiling. Especially with a sharpened C-clip on the end of each pistol casing...

I've been using a .38 case, drilled out the SPENT primer and screwed a field point through into the aluminum shaft.
They fly great and whack pretty hard too.
Real cheap to make.

All are wonderful ideas I thank you all.
  I have been thinking of trying a wingnut
held on with epoxy but was wondering about
weight.

Wingnuts are my second favorite improvised blunt. Tough, effective, hard to lose, and if sharpened, lethal beyond imagination. A 5/16" wingnut should weight about 120-grains if I recall. Can't be too sure on that though...

i was told by a sales person, when purchasing an out-of-date newpaper that it was out-of-date...

i told her "i've been told i'm out-of-date, too"...

does that mean i'm up-to-date?

The bullet cases work pretty well. My favorite small game head is still the hex blunt.....those things are indestructable! The only way you'll get rid of them is by loosing them, you'll struggle to break them! And they're not too expensive.   :bigsmyl:    :D

Wing nut or nut and washer combo screwed on a cedar arrow are very effective.

Drill a hole side ways through a field tip just beind the tapered part on the shank. Press a 1" by 1/8" hardend roll pin thrught it. Then grind them to an edge.

Billy

You gonna be at western park this year?

I mainly grew up in Vernal, lived there from 87'to 97'.  Been going to the Western park indoor for years.

My family that still lives there says it has been one cold son-of-a-gun!!!!

Take care
