It a hard learning! Ya still have enough left to make a nice point. One thing that can break in the notching process is applying too much pressure holding the point.

I guess what jawge says about bows applies to points as well, 'If you ain't breaking, you ain't making'. Looks good even if it is broke.

I'd chalk it up to a learning curve. Take a little more time abrading the notch and less pressure and then take that one and turn it into a stemmed point.
