 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

That is one nice looking point. Did you heat treat the rock?

That looks sharp with the light behind it! And it also looks sharp  ??? You know what I mean ;)
Is this bow making a sickness? or the cure...

Cool point and a killer for sure bubby. I picked up a bunch of petrified wood in ND but have yet tried to knap any - may have to now.
