Well, errr--- Would you volunteer for a penetration test? >:D
I think the camera and photo reproduction could give them a
not as pointy perspective but I can tell they are thin and look
great. Not to mention getting them so matched up. Amazing ;D

Maybe Bomo can tell us what the prey will be?

sleek:
Im not nocking them, im just not very knowledgeable about it.  And no, I am thin skinned and an endangered species.

bowmo:
Thanks guys.

And no worries sleek. They penetrate great. Like others said the more pointy the more prone to end snap when hitting a bone. I'm not much of a hunter but a few years ago a friend that gun hunts let me take some shots at a deer he got. It was dressed of course but I was more interested in how they punched through the skin and what they did when they hit a bone. I copped a rib clean in two with one and the arrow about popped completely out the other side of the deer.

sleek:
Well, thats good enough for me!

mullet:
Nice, points. Is that green one in the bottom Bern's obsidian?
