I'm not sure really but with so many thick skinned animals they have to be. Remember it's Africa were talking about and most of the tribes there use steel or iron instead of stone points. Their spears are also crafted in the same way.
Justin Snyder:
Stone points are definitely legal in South Africa and Namibia. I talked to Paul Brunner, he has taken several animals with stone in South Africa. However, he does not recommend using stone points on buffalo. He thinks they will shatter on the ribs. Justin
stickbender:
I wouldn't think the ribs on a Cape Buffalo, would be any thicker than an American Bison. The Indians did pretty well with stone points with them. Those that weren't run off of a cliff. I would think an arrow head not quite as thin as is normally used, would hold up quite well. Especially being propelled by a heavy shaft, from a heavy powered bow. 8)

I believe, not positive, that the Cape Buffalo have a shield like boar hogs. Or just a thick layer of skin near the shoulders.
