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!
