I saw Woody Blackwell shoot a hog with a point made of computer screen glass just about that size- the hole it made on entry was something to behold.

The hog as I recall didn't make it more than 25-30 feet from the point of impact.

Great looking point.

Thank you all. I like the feedback and suggestions. I really enjoy knapping and my goal for this season is to take a big game animal with one of my points.

Looking at the head I feel it may be a tad too big and the design will not let me secure it well enough. I am going to have to modify it. I guess it will be stemmed.

Got the head stemmed tonight and mounted it in a rivercane shaft. Spins true. I test fired it a few times, shot great! I touched up the edge again then put it in my quiver.
