3 Rivers has them in glue-on.  9/32 seems to be the smallest you can get in standard sizes of screw-in, although I have seen 17/64 in some specialty points, which is just slightly larger than 1/4.

I you are lookimg for the RPS type, go as small as you can.
Then chuck the tip in a drill with the point end in only as far as you need to get a good grip.  Then hold a file or stone at an angle to the back edge so as to round off the sharp shoulder.  I find it only removes a few grains of weight and the angled or rounded profile makes it easy to remove from targets.

I just got 3 dozen from 3Rivers I'm fixin ta return as they aren't tapered at the back. The pic on the website showed they were but noct when they arrived.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

I like your idea, Wheels.  I've found that when I buy the cheaper points, they often are a few tenths of a grain on the heavy side anyway, so beveling the back might actually bring them closer to being spot on in some cases.
