Title: 75 grn kahokia
Post by: Stringman on March 05, 2013, 03:45:15 pm

Had a little time this morning and finished this little piece of Georgetown into a kahokia. I kept waiting for it to snap, but it seemed immune to my shakin hands.

That's a nice one. Good work. The Texas cherts survive a lot better in my hands than many other types.

That point is about perfect. They weight is great, too. That's all I have been hunting with now for a couple years....they work great and fly very well on my short NA eastern woodland arrows. Like JEB said.....deer killer for sure.
