Have you ever put together any traditional arrows with them?
(Hand cut and wrapped fletchings, hand wrapping to attach the heads, etc)

I never had the time to sit down and try napping myself. I should considering I have a fairly good source of agate/flint. Just have to go to my aunts house and dig in her back yard and can get nodules up to 12".
Now Obsidian would be nice. Sharper than surgical steel when done well.

Yes I have and I have shot wildboar and wild sheep with them, Yes obsidian is the way to go, but I can't find any in Florida.
Those were some that I got from a friend from Costa Rica

Alex:

I used to think about trying that, but never did. But I truly admire the examples of your work. That is very excellent craftsmanship! Are you actually going to hunt with them? What an awesome hunting tool!

Yes I have hunted with these and they are actually deadly, you can't fool around with them or they'll cut your hand open.
I have shot pigs, sheep and deer with these types, and the smaller ones are for rabbits ,squirrels ,coons, etc.

Chupacabras, that is beautifull ,I have never seen those before, where do you get it from ?

Alex,

I just started making the shirts. The snake head is a Pedernales point. Here is a nice Martindale type point.
