  Yep, thats why the majority of the points I make are to hunt with. That is the reason I started knapping. Probally the same reason Abo man did too. ;D

Jamie, you can change that point by restarting your notches along the inside,widen them out some,or just take off the ears and make a nice stemmed point?

Not useless at all if you learn something from it to make the next one better or different....I'd take it!

I think you could still flute that puppy Jamie, or do like Timo said and make a stemmed out of her. Not a bad lookin point the way it is - maybe you aughta just start banging another piece of rock ;).
