These posts will chronicle my journey as a fatally nostalgic masochist. I am continually drawn to the "old ways" and history, methods, and means of the low technology past.

Inexpensive homemade squirrel points
I decided to try the tip from the latest Traditional bowhunter article Marylander Rob Davis wrote about making small game heads out of field points.
I took some needle nose pliers and bent out the base in a fan / flange shape and ground the tip flat to make a slightly smaller blunt. It was very quick and easy with my grinding wheel, and the entire process only took a few minutes to make a half dozen.
They are supposed to penetrate in the squirrel better and stay inside with the flanges.
I am hoping they do not snag too much coming out of my back quiver.
Hopefully I will give a report soon on the effectiveness on squirrel!
