Here are two points I finished last night. I'm finally getting the thinning concept down but still working on my notches.

Nice ones. Symmetry is good. Haft em up & let em fly! Try practicing your notching on a flake .try notching it about 1/4 inch apart. Its the best way I know to get better & you don't break a point trying it.

 Yep, like Tower said, and I think shallow notching on hunting points keep them from breaking easier.

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

Thanks for the advice guys.

I've got plenty of broken preforms and missplaced bopper hits to practice on. Why didn't I think of that???

Eddie, that makes sense.

Those are some nice looking points. Nice convexity, no steps, clean.
When you come upon a track or trail you do not know, follow it to the point of knowing.
