Sailor that sounds like the ticket.  I knocked them off 4 times.  On youtube they make it look easy. I guess I have to keep trying I can't expect to get it right first time.  I just need to find the right hold and pop the flake off without knocking the ears ans tabs off in the process.  I think I will do as you said and come more from below.  If anyone else has ideas it would be great to hear them. Thank you.

The only stone point that broke on contact with an animal that I have shot was stemmed.  The junction of shaft and stone is usually where the pont breaks, the various side or corner notches have more and wider stone there and are less likely to break.  I no longer use obsidion any more either.  Bill

i second what bill said. most of the stemmed points i used broke at the stem. many during practice shots into soft foam.

I could see how the tab and ears could act like a rudder.  They may help to stabilize the point as it passes through the animal. They extend past the point off effort so it could be a physics thing as well as a mass issue.

I have never used a basal notch point so I don't know if it is better than a stemmed point.  I suspect that it will be about as strong, simply because where you attach the shaft,the stone stem is narrow. 

FWIW, probably 80% of the points I find are stemmed, so stemmed worked for a long time.  Bill

bill, your right
stemmed points have been around for a long long time
and they are quit effeictive and sturdy
many many many many artifact stemmed points have been found on the continent
intact and still fully fucntional
i done see why anyone would think they would be inferior
if,when making a stemmed point,your cross section is right
it will be quit sturdy and stand up to hunting situations


i mentioned they would be my style of choice
i said it simply because that is one style that cant be misinterpeted as "barbed"
