DIY broadhead

[Mr Price]

Been tinkering with EXTREME foc.
So I made this beast. 600 grains of single beveled badness.

Hows it shoot? I went down the diy broadhead rabbit hole several years ago. I cut a slot in field points and then used roll pins to attach .050 thick blades i made. I used old tablesaw blades. I built jigs to cut the blades out on a tablesaw, with a metal cutting blade. It worked awesome. I could make blades all exactly the same with no problem. Then i had jigs to grind the bevels. I killed a doe and a couple of pigs with them.

Did you tack them in place and then spin them on a jig to get them true, and then weld? That was always my plan when i was considering welding them.

Did you heat treat the blades?

Ha! Not a chance. I had a ridiculous amount of time invested in them. And i never could get the precision where i wanted it. Some would be perfect but many were not. It was a fun thing to tackle though. I have now scratched that itch for the most part.

With as big and slow as that thing is, the deer will have plenty of time to see it coming and die of fear before it even arrives!

The broadhead I made actually shot very good. Although, I had to use my 40 yrd pin at 20 yards just to hit my mark, lol.

No doubt! If it don't work as a broadhead I'll use it for a spear tip lol

Will need to be tempered ....welding made that very brittle and the edge w will chip easier... or at least that's what I've learned with my limited knife making experience....
Should be easy to heat treat since it's such a small part....

Looks awesome and I hope u get to harvest an animal with it!
