S.C. hunter:
Hey Everyone,
  I would like to get some opinions to what size points you think are best for hunting. Hunting Whitetails, and Hogs.  Size as far as Length, Width, also some favorite types that you think work best.
   Thanks,
    Steve

paulc:
Your state will have regs on minimum  width...

Paul

aaron:
Mine are near the minimum for WA state- 7/8 wide by 2 long including stem.

bjrogg:
I like this shape. It's just over 7/8" wide
Bjrogg
PS the bigger one

S.C. hunter:
Paulc... Actually S.C. does not have any regulations on point size. I really just curious about what seems to work best for most People. Thanks for the reply :)
Aaron... I have just made 2 Obsidian points that are just about that size. how well do they penetrate at that size for you ? I know it has a lot to do with the pounds of the bow, I am shooting about 48 lbs. most of the time. Just wondering if I should go a little smaller... thanks
Bjrogg... I like that style point. Doesn't look like any unnecessary drag after the initial hole is made.  Thanks.
