Every state varies as to their rules or if they even allow stone points. Those look good to me send em up and I will see how they work ;) :)

Most state regs I've read, if they allow stone points, a minimum width of 7/8" and no barbed points. The point on the left would be considered a barbed point. If you bring the back corners straight across the back, like the others,  they will be OK.  I'm not sure what FLA law says.

I seached the FL F&G site and state regs and did not find an answer, though there was an indicatiion that sub-areas have their own reg.  But their site has section for posting questions.  I suggest you ask there:  http://askit.myfwc.com/cgi-bin/myfwc.cfg/php/enduser/std_alp.php

There was also in PA mag, vol 15 and 16, a series on all the state hunting regs, so I'm sure that the answer, or lack of one, was addressed last year or so.  If some does not look that up before me, I'll try this weekend.

  Roger it is 7/8" and no restrictions on Barb's. I've had a lot of Game Officers look at my points and thought they were cool. They never bothered to measure them. The Central Zone office is in Lakeland, I took some arrows out there and asked them.

 The rule says 7/8" wide points, regardless what they are made from. Wood is legal. Florida makes no distintion about  material.

As small as the deer are in (my home state) FL 7/8" and a 40# bow is lethal..Big game in FL is wild cattle.. :P
