 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I'd was joking about the Egyptian blades :)
But i think a knife blade of some type would be cool fore March.

How about something with a "keyhole" or "expanding" notch.  Those are hard to get the notch to expand without breaking.

Fletch did you watch the videos yet?

If not its where you come at it in the opposite dirrection placing. Its really hard to explain but if you watch the last video there it will show it.

Just in time....Well, here is my last attempt.  After breaking about three I will go with this hybrid creature.

Looks good Jonathan - you get better with every point!
 OK: so far we've got some kind of blade, Kirk serrated, and some kind of egyptian point's for March. Any other's?

I haven't even had a chance to try the Gunthers much. Seems like every day I've had some time it's been pouring rain or down to 0. The one I tried looked good until I busted the barb off one side. :)  Kirk Serrated, expanded notch Ishis, blade, whatever sounds good to me for the next one. I'll pass on the Egyptian Gerzian knives for now. :)

PS-Jonathan, that's a good looking point, you're getting pretty durn good at this.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
