screws...they are about 1" long..the main reason I couldnt fit much lead.
my 1st darter I've made...the next ones will have to be a bit larger
I just hope this one darts or swims...I'll see after work today.
experiments are fun

I Use epoxy/screws on my darters. I can't seem to through drill 7" rock maple. I hung from one and bounced up and down (200lbs). They ain't pulling out.

Add a front hook and I bet you'll get better results...

Thanks Canalman, I'll give that a try.
Dave told me next tiem to place the weight more towards the front on darters too..
I heard they are tough to get to go right.
thanks for the help / advice :kewl:
its all a learning process.....only my 1st one (darter)
I enjoy Trial and Error, just wish I could make em faster!
(no lathe, all hand carves)
