Well done! I love the jig idea. I always did it "free hand" after blunting the very tip of a "streamlined" field point for a better start. This is definately better!

And now please tell me: What kind of femur is that one - laying around on your working bench? And why does the condylus supporting part look so "wrong" to me?

Very nice work. Love the jig also.

The femur is from a buck I butchered for a friend. While de-boning the hind quarters, I noticed something was wrong with the bone. I boiled it out and found a blade from a broadhead next to the bone so I took it to work to Xray it to see if there was any more of the head buried in the bone. There was not. The bone you see in that that pic was the "Good" side that I used to compare the damage. This deer was shoot the prior year and survived through the winter with a compound fracture only to be shot the following year with another bow.

I find the time, because I don't watch TV. Not for 3 years.

I just recently finished them and it has been below zero so I have not taken them outside to shoot them.

:scared:     "[dntthnk]"   That's some bad looking bone!  Unbelivable what these critters can take! Thanks for explaining Ron!
What made me ask was obviously more caused due to the angle in the pic. Made the condylus look like as if it "sits" on a cone with almost none excitence conection to the femur. Hence some sort of "show piece". Didn't know it was actually the "wrong side" ...

Would love to have some X-ray device at hand to examine whatever I want to! Very nice! And my respect for parting from that other "high tech apparatus"
