That is a big old point. It ought to bleed them if you can get it into them.

 That shore is a perty rock ;D
When I grow up, I'd like to learn how to use them cave man tools.
 I worked a piece of glass the other day. First piece I've ever used percussion on.  Had to back waaaay off with the copper.  I can't help but thin that antler is the way to go with glass and obsidian ???

I have a hard time using copper. I get used to it after awhile but I usually just crush edges. And yes antler is the way to go with obsidian and glass. Works great on the thunderchert too.

Nice,  I think Kegan and his 90# bows are the only combo that will be able to shoot that.  Nice work Jamie.
