I started saving all my old milk jugs for projects like these/
Well....I tried to make some darts only to find my milk jugs still had a little milk and the smell was horrendous, so I had to toss them
Current project: Afghanistan deployment

Heres an idea. You could make a mold with like 10 cones equally spaced on it, all the same size. There would need to be holes drilled through the base of what the cones are attached to.
The use a vacuum molding machine to mold the plastic around the mold.
The plastic those things usually use would work very well for these. You could easily make hundreds of those little cones quickly. Some schools have these vacuum molding machines in the tech dept etc.. Just an idea anyway.
ive thought of using one, but i dont know where i can find one. i could make my own i suppose....
There are rules, and then there are hundred dollar bills.

i made a few of these, maybe ill post pics of my broadheads. i just hammered the coat hangar wire flat and then ground the flat part down on the woodshop angle grinder in my school.
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

Damn straight I can.

Ok, I cheated by mounting my gun, and using exactly the same pressure each time, but, whatever :lol:
