AND OF COURSE ILL HAVE MY 500 S& W  FOR BACK UP IN CASE ALL HELL BREAKS LOOKSE HAHA  BROCK

It should work just fine.  Obsidian is brittle but even when it breaks it is a new sharp edge.  Doug Campbell has killed several with stone points but I don't know if any where obsidian.  Joseph

Paul Brunner used a very similar setup on a Bison many years ago when the stone point was a pretty radical move for a modern bowhunter. I believe the bow was 74# and a glass laminated longbow in Brunner's case. It worked really well- if it is a well knapped point it will kill anything steel will. Best of luck on your hunt and keep us posted.                       Grant

I have to agree with Joseph, I would choose some other stone, like chert, or jasper. Obsidian not strong enough.

You don't need a 500 S&W - just a .22 cal. when he comes onto you put it to your temple and pull the trigger. Much faster death.
