I'm getting ready to do a second round of experimental archaeology, and I've got a problem. For NW European types, I can't find a source of short bodkins and type 16s to make an order. (Central European types I have a guy going to produce custom)HE is out, and I can't afford Hector Cole (especially with the new exchange rates)... anybody have any surplus they'd be willing to pass off? Or any ideas on US arrowsmiths? This is going to be a REALLY intensive shoot, and the inferior heads used in my first published tests are completely inadequate for the job. Thanks in advance. -------------------- Dulce bellum inexpertis. -- Desiderius Erasmus

Hi Russ, I'll see if our master of archers in Wolfe Argent has a source he's willing to cough up. Jenn -------------------- ad finem fidelis

Here is what Peter recommends.Source 1 which is a little cheaper. What I use and I have a few dozen various points. I can show you these Sat if you want to see them again. http://www.archery-centre.co.uk/
See arrow points and down at bottom... Source 2 which is museum grade aka... expensive and with our exchange rate now its even more so... http://www.hectorcoleironwork.com/
This is who I would order from for the museum if I were making a display... -------------------- ad finem fidelis
