No but your pics. are gonna' get deleted.

To glue stone arrowheads into so they can be used with carbon/aluminum arrows.

“To glue stone arrowheads into so they can be used with carbon/aluminum arrows.”

Had that post come from anyone other than Jon, I would assume that they were just yanking your chain on that, but considering the source… I’d put money on it.

My first thought was that they remind me of the old Magnus blunts, which had a slot for their replaceable bleeder blades, but it’s obviously much too wide. it makes me wonder, though, if you could fashion some blades from aluminum stock of the proper thickness, and build yourself a very sturdy small game Broadhead.

If you were to use hotmelt, the blades would probably break loose on a hard hit, allowing the ferrule to survive it.

I've never seen one like that before.

Another type that I have.

Careful Jon the trad police are always watching;)

Well I will rephrase my response. It can be used to glue stone points into and use with aluminum or carbon arrows. I am not sure what the intent was for the person that made the slit. I know the ones in my photo were made for the reason I gave, to insert stone points in to.

Don I welcome the trad police. Being a retired LEO maybe we can all go get a coffee and a donut together, lol.

I like the idea myself, just another cool option. One could even add a cut saw blade head into it.

I have 1 identical to Jons made by Tim Ott

Those are pretty slick

Mixing hi tech with the stone age.

Thanks for the responses guys. Who would have thunk it?

If a guy used that with a stone point on an aluminum or carbon crossbow bolt, is that considered traditional? No pulleys or cams, but recurve limbs of course :)

I'm not buying it. Anyone that would go through the trouble of manufacturing something like that would taper the leading edges and not leave it with a blunt right angle.

That's so that the arrow has both impact and cutting ability. Science.

I’m with Boreal on this one.

I like the mix.

I don't think it was manufactured with the slot but it is a manufactured blunt modified for another reason. Only the person that cut the slot knows the reason for doing it. I know I could knap a stone point to fit in that slot and use it.

The ones I posted were field points altered to accommodate stone points and that is what they were sold as.

I’d think steel trade points rather than stone. Maybe the idea was to spot weld in a sickle bar tooth for the baddest broad head. :)

Why???

Those are interesting Jon, thanks for sharing...
