Flint Ridge

Hard to get motivated with the Temps already in the mid-90's but I knocked this one out of some Flint Ridge today while I was cooking a batch of River rock. ::) 8)

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

Thank you, gentlemen. :) We played in the Alafia River yesterday for coral and came up with a little bit of what we call "ledge", It's hard to come by. It's the flat rock the point is sitting on. It doesn't need heat treating and is a dream to work once you get around the cracks and inclusions.

Nice point!  I've been doing my knapping after dark.  There's  been a cool breeze most nights.
