That's what my Grandpa called arrowheads. Indian bullets.  Found some time last weekend & tried to make good use of it. The pink is Mook & the rest are all TX. Stone. Hope yall enjoy.

 Nice lookin' work there. That black and the white on the right match up pretty well and would make a great looking pair of arrows.   Thanks for sharing the pics.  '  Frank

Maybe you have said before... are you using a nail punch to do the notches. If it is a nail punch, could you include a picture of how you shape your notch. Great looking bullets!

Steven, On my small points I use a pressuer flaker w/ a horseshoe nail. I like to punch the larger points.

I am very impressed with the pink point.  I like how it is a little concave on the edge going toward the notches.  That is a cool style do you know the name of it?
