For me, it's easier to cut part way through hard steel blades and then snap them.  As long as the widest part is 7/8" and it has two cutting edges, it's legal for deer here in TX.  The ribs are not too hefty on whitetails... don't know about the others.  Still haven't hit a deer with an arrow, so it doesn't matter much anyway.  ;D

Any critter tastes good with enough butter on it.

I wanna know why you are hunting with steel when you produce those fine looking stone points?  ???

Check your game laws. Many states require steel broadheads.

Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Justin, 99% of my points are less than 7/8" wide.  Also, see below.

From the way my brother described the hit the arrow must have hit the scapula.  My brother quit bow hunting shortly after.
