You guys are posting some excellent points. They make me want to go arrowhead hunting. It's been a while & they are giving me the jitters.

Tried another Montell and was much happier with the notching. Its not a large point but I liked the way it turned out. It's another Rhyolite beast.. >:D

That stuff looks like it would kill my wrist when pressure flaking it.  Looks good

nice hawk  ;D
nother piece of pedernales. really happy with the notches on this one , cause notches give me trouble with abo tools. the outer ones were done with an ulna notcher and the inner one an antler punch. snapped the ear when i was taking a few of the last punches out of the center notch. makes it look authentic though
