Hello Everyone!
After multiple robin hood shots I've decided to start making my own cones to replace the brittle and broken CS ones. I wanted to replicate the CS cones so I cut the cone off the end of a CS broadhead dart and hot glued a screw into it. Using that I made my first batch of cones, now I've decided to change up my tactics and make myself a vacuum former so I can produce cones that are all the same.
Here's some pictures of that first batch, along with one of the CS mini-broadhead darts that had a damaged cone. Some of the first ones I made did not come out the way I intended.. Which is why I want to build a vacuum former, something simple like the one in this video. Also, sorry for the blurry photo on the CS dart, it just didn't come out right.
I need to make myself something for trimming the darts too, kinda like what he's using to ensure such a nice fit in the blowgun.
