I've been hunting with stone for a few years now. I have tried several different styles and types of stone. I have taken seven whitetail with them. I feel that the best design is a side notched like the Cahokia, made out of the toughest stone you can master. If the the head breaks off when you hit a bone, it will almost always break between the notches. With a corner notched, it won't leave much if any of the head left attached to the shaft. with a side notched, if it breaks off it will still have the base attached, and still cut if the arrow is still in the animal...Does that make sense

Here are two points used this year on deer. The side notched was used on a nice 8 point, and the corner notched was used on a doe... a compleate pass through.

Boy, I wish I would have been introduced to this way of life when I was a kid! I've been playin around with the primitive arts for about 5 years now and I'm enjoyin it a lot. I took my first deer with completely primitive gear the day after Christmas. Not sure if I enjoyed the huntin or the makin better. I will say that the point I used was sharp and not patterned after any other style in particular, just created in my head. The shot itself was a little far back so I didn't hit any bone, but I got my deer

Nice points bryan, is the top one burns green? David.. you know Keenan will use his bad back condition to get you and I to do all the digging ::) John.. just remember the tip needs to be at least 7/8" wide as well as not barbed, which you knew. glass buttes is coming up soon, good place to learn.
