Beautiful work, hitman. Charlie does his feathers proud, and those points are killers.
You are hitting on all eight there!

The nocks have a small shaft cut down that fits inside the bamboo shaft. The shafts are really tough and these are spined out at 55-60.

Really nice job. I wish we could use stone points in Idaho to hunt big game, but we can't. You did a great job knapping and building your arrows. Even a helical on your feathers. Make sure to post pictures of your success using them.
