Great Points
I've been buying these points for years. They used to be smaller but these new ones are much larger. They are fairly durable and have some weight to them. A bit difficult to sharpen, but I use a rasp so that may be why. Razor sharp when finished.
I like these are great for survival
backup suvival tools
Will order more at this price
Great for Bamboo arrows used for Back yard hunting
Great for hunting
you CANNOT file nocks for these, you will need to split the shaft and insert the arrowhead, then wrap and glue the crack in the shaft. also you have to shappen these yourself, it is lots of fun.
Great broadheads for the cost
these points tie on with ease, fly straight and have delivered killing shots on our local groundhog population.
The above product
I've used them only for targets so far an the work well, except when useing a tough target like wood or a plastic umberella holder. Doing so will push the tips into the arrow spliting it a little.
Improve Your Sharpening Skills On These
These are what they are; flat tool grade banding steel shaped to a basic trade point. If you want a broadhead ready for use out of the box, these are not for you. But if you like to make your own gear but want the major task of shaping your point from a steel blank out of the way, these could be thought of as your diamonds in the rough. Artistic expression and creativity can… read more be nicely used on these. These are not sharpened but the large ones are well tempered and took an edge fairly well. The smaller game heads are a little more difficult to sharpen. At more than half the price of some of the other trade points and the basic shaping work already done, it is good way to practice your sharpening skills before you get near your really good broadheads and make some points that could take a little less careful sharpening treatment without feeling bad about it. These heads have allowed me to experiment with edge angles and broadhead types by sharpening with a single cut mill file and a pocket knife stone. I have done a broadhead with a 'Dr. Ashby' type single bevel with one of the larger trade heads and it came out rather nice and beautifully sharp. I also intend to get a little creative and try some decorative edges by filing a serrated edge with some round files on one these pre-shaped arrowhead blanks. I will probably even try to file shape some other point styles using these; maybe even some fishing points.
Any of the tools you mention would probably work if you are familiar with them. I would probably just use a file as I think it would be the easiest way for myself.
No, I do not have the information on the type of steel it is manufactured from.
I would recommend a 25° bevel.

The small game point was discontinued. We still plan on carrying the trade point.
Three rivers doesn't sell them any more. Look on ebay... Or call Alan Stevens in Jackson Michigan.
I weighed a six pack and got an average weight of 123.5gr. There was a range of 113gr to 137gr. Each pack will be a little different.
The new ones will be 125 grns. The material is .o45 thick.
approxemently 86 grains
Yes, you should install foreshafts.
Arrow shaft needs to be slotted to except the shank, nothing but the shaft is needed.
These points will have some semblance of an edge to them. They would cause more damage then the you bullet points in any circumstance.
Trade points should never be pre-sharpened. These are not sharp when you get them. Not to be used for blunts. These will kill even if not sharpened.
No, these points are intended for small game and replica arrows only.
Actually they would be legal in at least 1 state. Alaska requires a steel broad head (can't use flint, etc) minimum 7/8 inch wide with a total arrow weight of at least 300 grains.The concernis not legal but smart. My concern is that the points are too soft and would fold up like paper on hitting a bone or even tough soft tissue. Also don't know if the steel used has enough carbon to be hardenable plus the flat structure of the point would likely leave it a bit weak. Legal? Yes. Foolish? Probably also yes.
Leagle in all states that I am aware of, talk to a local DNR agent and ask them.
in most states but you shouldnt
