Fluted points are nice when they survive, but a heartache when they do not. I think this one was out of a piece of Georgetown.

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

What method do you use to take the flutes? Direct percussion, indirect percussion, jig or some other.

It was direct percussion with copper. Supported the tip against the inside of my leg and held the sides of the base with my fingers. I have tried some jigs but prefer to just stick to direct percussion, not looking at trying to make cumberland any time soon.

Nice one
By the looks of that hinge it had to be a copper bopper and
a wide nipple.
I like them like that. Right to a hair of make um or breakin um.
I wrap mine tight in a jeans leg with the seam against the
potential ( lol) flute ridge.
