stone points and turkeys
mullet:
Ryan, I think the bird I shot is still in Shooting and Hunting, I think the last year that is still up. There is a picture with the point on there somewhere. The point wasn't serrated. I do not think you get the penetration on a turkey with a serrated point. I believe the feathers pile up on the jagged edges and the point was also not notched. It was a triangle with the shaft wrapped behind the point with sinew.
Yea, It's the 2007 post, second page.

thats what i have mounted on my arrows now..just as you described. little flake point, non serrated and no notches, just wrapped a little behind the point. point is small. not as sharp as i normally like them..but no serrations, but still decently sharp. they are way thinner and narrower than the one that didnt go in

Also, when you look at the large wing bone that attaches to the shoulder, it is one of the biggest and thickest bones they have along with the Primary feathers that are thick and tough. The same reason that when newbies shotgunning their first bird don't recover it when they make a body shot instead of a head shot. I don't know how many birds I've cleaned that had an assortment of different size shot under the skin that wasn't what I was shooting.

how do you go about making a non serrated stone point??? Every flake you take off with a pressure flaker will create a small serrateion???? How do you do it???? Thanks allot

well i rekon technically it is still serrated, just very finely. but you gotta almost chip the serrations off to even it out
