stone point trauma pics...
Timo:
Number 2 was a spine shot. You know the results.The point suffered greatly.Never found the rest of it.(Looked hard for it too!) Heat treated burltington,1" wide. side notch. Hickory shaft, I think these were in the 700 grain range. 53 # selfbow. 18 yd shot.

Number 3 was with a point that a freind made for me. Porcelinite I think? I hated the design and the edge worried me,but it worked.....Just not very well. 54 # witchdoctor recurve, 22 yd shot. Hickory shaft,again 700 grain.Penetration was minimal. 150 recovery, very poor blood trail.(I heard her fall). Can't remember the specs on the point,as I gave it back to him. ;D
Forgot to add that I can't remember if this point encountered bone or not. The point looked untouched after I pulled it from the deer.

Number 4 was with another raw texas point. 53 # selfbow,hickory shaft again, upper loin area passing through the strenum and out between the front legs. the arrow remained in the deer. 100 yd recovery.Massive blood trail,but the point was lost from the arrow along the trail. here is a before pic. It is the black point 2nd from left. It was thin and very sharp. Not sure about the width.
Number 5 was with the point on the far right.jeff city chert.same arrow group,same weight bow.another pass through and the point was lost along the trail. I just hate to loose points after shooting through a deer.I'm sure they must look unscathed? But dragging along through brush grabs the base and yanks the sinew and pitch loose I rekon?
As for encountering bone?I can't remember on this one either. I was to danged happy to notice I guess? :)

Cool looking pictures, Tim.
Hillbilly:
Tim, those are pretty much identical to the design I use for hunting points.
