Well, I live right next to an airfield, as a matter of fact!  Only thing is, it's not abandoned.  I doubt they'd believe me when I said that I wasn't a terrorist and is was an accident that I put a hole in their multi million dollar commercial jets.   Grin

lol!

Its doable, but why would you want to do it?

I don't think it would fly very good.(because you will have flats) If you are looking to enhance penetrative capabilities for hunting or throwing through stuff, I would recommend just casting a lead gland around a piece of re-bar(round stock) and sharpening both ends to points. No need to drill holes through the re-bar, it will grip the lead sufficiently.(due to its textured nature) Make sure that the re-bar is free of rust and debris prior to casting as this will prevent a clean bond. you will also want to use a flux on the bar. I think you are pretty young, so I would recommend adult supervision, and guidance when doing anything like this. Hot lead, Poisonous flux, sharp steel = very dangerous.       

Well, I did it.
It didn't work super well.
Don't try to cast around another metal- it is very hard to get a good seal.
I use NO flux.
They spin fast enough that flats don't matter.

Would you need a special throw for broadhead ammo?  Also I wonder if they would be improved with some fletching.

the latest development on these is even simpler to make I take JB weld, mix it with iron filings till it is the consistency of clay. then insert two arrow inserts so the broad heads or field points will screw in. then smooth out the shape till egg like then let dry. this mixture is pretty sweet for almost any shape of glan

I actually became quite happy with just one broad head.
Facing the broad head to rear of the pouch when throwing Apache style. Pretty effective but also pretty much I one use projectile. Though often the blades can be replaced. Probably be awesome in ancient warfare lol
