I ground my flat washers to equal sided triangles. I believe they work well on pheasant and rabbit

I tried to drill 100% copper pennies from the 70's.
After the third one I gave up.
I just couldn't get a true centered hole.

Tooling a punch and die machine is best but costly.
I made a simple tool for a fly press at work to form my triangle so the points point forward.
They worked too.
I just got me a cheap flat bow#50, I can not believe how nice it is shoot, now where did I put those washers

Do you need a headshot to DRT a turkey?

It's all about achieving blunt force trauma with thumpers.

Re: (Archery) Homemade Turkey Thumper.
I know, I'm being ornery, but why is that better than a broadhead?

Re: (Archery) Homemade Turkey Thumper.
Supposedly small game blunts are less destructive on game.
In my mind the jury is still out on that.
More likely to lose and or wreak an expensive broad head.
I do believe that. The kind I use are $40.00+ for a 3 pack.

Re: (Archery) Homemade Turkey Thumper.
Years ago we were gluing 38 special cases on arrows for a pretty good blunt.

Re: (Archery) Homemade Turkey Thumper.
I think I would try the blunt on some varmints and small game first. I have shot judo points through a rabbits head and even heard of a pronghorn being killed by one. I would also look into a cheaper expandable for turkey.
I question this because I saw feathers stop a lot of shot from a shotgun and personally would feel better cutting through, but wish you success and know it would be a small game killer.

I'm not to concerned about the lethality of that 367 grain bolt & blunt combination pushing 320 fps.EdinCT wrote:I think I would try the blunt on some varmints and small game first.

Meat destruction is more my concern.

Re: (Archery) Homemade Turkey Thumper.
Many don't consider the turkey to be small game. While that head would be superb on game such as rabbit and squirrel, I personally wouldn't use it on turkey. After 44yrs of bowhunting experience, for me anything groundhog size and up gets a sharp broadhead.
