Transverse flint point

(1/3) > >>

Kegan:
Heard it works on deer (given local game laws). How is that so? I kow it isn't the best, but how does it peform? Got me thikning after reading the old PA article, "48 Year Hunt" or something.

Hillbilly:
Are you talking about the Neolithic European points that look like a chisel? I don't think I'd hunt big game with 'em myself-I would kind of be inclined to think that a point on the tip would improve penetration just a bit  :) They must have been effective for some use, though, or they wouldn't have made and used 'em.

mullet:
  I have a friend that lives in NC now that killed a BIG bear.He killed it with one of those points made out of obsidean.

Coo-wah-chobee:
                       Kinna depends on if ya work on the chisel point after ya knock it off bigger piece. That makes em' more effective IMO. Like hillbilly said a point is preferable but as Mullet said these chisel pernts will do the job. I have used em and taken thin skinned game as they come off a preform untouched and touched up also............bob

mullet:
    Even with Wensels,If you file the point to a chisel,IMO they work better when hitting bone.I've had other people that use and swear by them do the same.I have two that folded over hitting bone in hogs.I believe very ,needle sharp stone points just come apart when hitting bone.Which is not a bad thing with rock.And I've seen not so pointed and flat pointed rock points penetrate and break bone.
