Armex Tomcat MKII 80lb crossbow pistol review

[Steve]

I used to work with a guy who made broadheads in the workshop on night shift.

He filed slots into the jaws of an old vice so that when the vice was closed there was a tapered hole down between the jaws, it tapered right down to nothing. He clamped two pieces of thin sheet steel in the vice, then hammered a tapered pin down between them which forced the steel sheet into the tapered hole. Then, he removed the sheets from the vice, brazed the two halves together, shaped and sharpened them. I think you would avoid stretching the steel so much if you made a jig that held the steel sheets in place whilst you closed the vice jaws, but he never did.

Obviously you need a taper on the arrow to match, and probably some epoxy.
