Best thing I've found is a simple triangular point about 1"x 2 1/2" with shallow side notches.

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

1" wide at the base,1.5" - 1.75 long, triangular shape with side notches, fairly strong median ridge. Put a heavy hickory behind it and it'll blow through a phone pole! ;D

It took ten minutes to talk myself out of various comments on this.

folks, the green point is obsidian- a variety called Burns Green which is found on private property near Burns OR. The green paint is "green earth" or vagone green mixed with hide glue.
