Talk:Do-It-Yourself/Bodkin point

While drawing the point too much will weaken it, it needs to be sharp enough to act as a punch. I think the author means it shouldn't be drawn excessively. This section needs to be made clearer.

Also, bodkins came in different types. Those for mail armor were quite long, up to 4", and very narrow. See Robert Hardy's "Longbow, a Social and Military History." ISBN 0964574136
