thank's for all the comments guy's, yeah i've come a long way's, but i'm years away from where i want to be
cowboy you can get slabs of mook at most gem stores, it's a little pricey to take down with percussion, at least it is for me but i'm kind of a tight ass, Bub

Haha, i hear ya Bub :). I was at Ratzats place like a kid in a candy store. Had the truck loaded and all my money spent before i came across the chunks of mookite. Looking back i prolly shoulda thrown some of the dacite out and bought some, hmm..

I can confirm that these points are pretty sweet!  I'm wondering if I'll have nerve to actualy shoot them ? ?  I can see me drawing one of these red ones on a turkey and thinking, "what if you miss, you realy wanna waste that point"? then loosing the bird while I shuffle for another arrow. ;D
