Hardins are tough to get right. Start them like a scottsbluff then go in to them like a corner notch. Punch them in and dress that last  punch with a flake.

Look pretty good!

John, stellar spear point...I am really enjoying seeing all your recent work.  Where abouts do you live and what spring spearing do you do?
