That's good stuff Jamie.  A Feller needs to make a little something "useful" every once in a while...at least that's what my wife says ???

Great points Jamie!  I'm hoping to get good enough this year to be able to equip myself with 10 or 12 to hunt with this fall.  Nice work!

thanks guys. tim i believe its mookite, not positve. after working on knives and bigger blades these seemed so small. i kept checking the weight when i first started to see how big they had to be and i couldnt believe as small as they were how heavy they were. once i got used to what i needed it became easier to just chip and have an idea of the weight. shannon she's probably right. maybe thats why im divorced.  ;D

  Very nice, Jamie. That little Clovis style is what I like to hunt with.

thanks guys . ed i used to use the dalton/clovis style but was worried about having barbs. so i started using a ntched levanna. then i learned as soon as you notch em they are considered barbed so i use what ever works.  ;D the daltons are my favorite style.

 We don't have to worry about that barbed rule here. I hunt a lot with Triangle points, too. I usually don't notch mine.
