That's great!  Will that point hold up?  Have you shot it into a hay bale or some such?

Those points are bone on an alligator gar. Not you long nose type. Big beasts..  These scales came from a 270 lb gar.
They will hold up . Natives in the S.E. used them for small game thru to war.
Trapper Rob and War Path got some from me.

Yea, those will hold up. I dig up some massive ones on a Lake near my house when looking for artifacts.
