Bird/Snaro points wanted

[Ron Meloni]

Anyone have any they're not using? Or better yet, any tips on how to make them?

Thanks,

Ron

Send Bisch a PM, he made some awesome ones a while back. Their might even be a post on it in the DIY section.

You want to buy one or just borrow one? I might have a couple either way. Let me look tonight and I will let you know.

[Ron Meloni]

I'd prefer to build my own if anyone has a cool blueprint for some. If not, buying them would do just fine.

Thanks,

Ron

Anyone else? Bisch, any tips on how to make one?

Ron, here is a pic of the bird points I made. I have tried them out on dove but have yet to hit a dove to see how effective they will be.

Awesome brother, thanks for the pic. I will be experimenting myself with some points like yours.

If you make some like these, try to find wire that is stiffer than a coat hanger and smaller diameter than a coat hanger. We used coat hangers and they are really not stiff enough.

I think I have some piano wire that should work.

Those are pretty sweet Bisch! Are this old thunderheads without blades?

[ggenovez]

Yeah, I would love to know more about them. Looks like they're jb welded together... what metal do you recommend for it to be stiffer?

Looks like I'm going to be warming up my welder pretty soon...

Yes they are!

They are JB welded. I put the BH ferrules on a drill press and drilled perpendicular holes. Then put the wire through and JB welded it together. I used coat hanger for the wire on these and it bends way to easily. A thinner stiffer wire would make a better bird point I think.

I'll be waiting to see how Ron's version turns out with the piano wire.
