Couple of Coral Points

Now that I have killed a deer with that hackberry bow, i really want to try to get one with my Sinew backed cedar bow. I wanted a little flare since its a real pretty bow. I made up a couple agatized coral points to shoot. I'm surprised at how sharp this heat treated coral is. These are both nearly as sharp as obsidian but much stronger. I think coral will be my new favorite stone! just not as easy to get! - Ryan
btw, both points are scaled down reproductions of FL native points often made in coral. left is a miniature Newnan style (kinda) the left one in a Bolen. i wasnt worried about making the notches tight and gorgeous since the original Bolens had swelled up notches that were notched out with a dull deer antler. also these, like all my points, are made with nothing but antler tools. thanks for looking!

Beautiful!
Question: How do you "tune" a stone point? Do you just go by weight?
Do you shoot and tune the heads the same as factory?
thanks, I know nothing about shooting stone points

thanks guys.
Duncan, I usually tune the shaft to fly fletched but with no point, just a little stiff spined, then I add the point and shoot a couple times to make sure it's perfect then touch up the edge and go. I usually shoot pretty light points on heavy arrows, but if I need to I can use a 70 grain field point and a like sized stone point if it really doesnt want to fly without a point
