Zuma:
It is interesting that by the Late  Woodland period, most arrow points are triangles.
Easy come easy go. Check on your local requirements for size and styles. Some places are very specific. I like a very fine serration that will sever vessels and capillaries.

Look pretty good Tim. You'll get your fill of knapping at the Classic, and learn a crap load too. I like 7 and 10 for hunting. 7 w/ a bit more of a point to it. Like Zuma said, check your local laws, Mullet can probably help you there. dp

Tower:
I'd hunt w/em.

mullet:
Looks good to me, Tim. I'd hunt with any of them. All you need here is 7/8" wide, no matter what it's made from.

nclonghunter:
I'm not a big fan of obsidian, but I really like 7 and 10 for hunting points. Several times I have read that the smaller points are best for penetration, so I try to keep mine as close to the legal width as possible.
