Those look great. Lots of work, but satisfying results. Sure beats sitting around and watching all this depressing news lately. Will you use them for small game hunting? I suppose if you could find the cane nearby it would be even better.
Jesus replaces the old covenant and speaks to the believer the moral code of God by His Spirit directly to the heart. He is the eternal, everlasting revelation of God to mankind. In Him is both the knowledge of righteousness and the power to live right.

Those look awesome and should look great on an arrow and do a great job. If I get this cane figured out better and get better looking shafts. I may be able to send you some. what poundage are you shooting for?

There are lots of creative ways to put points on cane arrows if you’re not full stock, do it one way, trad to the core kinda guy. I cut some ends off a few old damaged aluminum arrows and glued over cane. Now I have footed cane with screw in inserts! Lol
Or just glue on as in center. Or glue on, screw in adapter, or even shell casings outside and small diameter inserts inside cane. :mrgreen: :oops: :lol:

I always shoot, try out tip weights, and get flying correctly before fletching.

I have made many self nocks in cane but did a quick fix on these, I can still do it on these, if the trad police try to arrest me I will. 😂 Look closely; one has a aluminum arrow end and nock glued on. I’ll try anything!
