I haven't built any arrows yet but I was thinking about something. Do any of you know how to make homemade field points? Not blunts, field points! I thought about cutting a circular piece of metal, cutting a slot through the radius and kind of wrapping the metal around the tip of the shaft? Thanks, Johnny

I know it it covered in one of the Primitve Archer articicles. The metal it cut in a certain shape and rolled in a cone typically with the help of a vice meal cone and hammer. Steve
