OK GUYS HERE GOES I BOOKED A TROPHY BUFFLO HUNT THIS IS FOR A 2,000 POUND PLUS BULL BUFFALO I PLAN TO USE MY 65 LB OSAGE BOW AND A STIKA SPURCE SHAFT BUT THIS TIME I WANT TO USE A OBSDIEN HAND MADE KNAPPED POINT 700 GR ARROW WT RANGE HAHA MY QUSTION IS DO YA THINK THIS WILL DO THE JOB ?? AND OF COURSE ILL HAVE MY 500 S& W FOR BACK UP IN CASE ALL HELL BREAKS LOOKSE HAHA BROCK
It should work just fine. Obsidian is brittle but even when it breaks it is a new sharp edge. Doug Campbell has killed several with stone points but I don't know if any where obsidian. Joseph
Paul Brunner used a very similar setup on a Bison many years ago when the stone point was a pretty radical move for a modern bowhunter. I believe the bow was 74# and a glass laminated longbow in Brunner's case. It worked really well- if it is a well knapped point it will kill anything steel will. Best of luck on your hunt and keep us posted. Grant
I have to agree with Joseph, I would choose some other stone, like chert, or jasper. Obsidian not strong enough.

Fist, water buffalo????
if yes then keep reading.
answer to your question......
ok, i can't help it.......YES!
can i take out a life insurance policy on you????
You don't need a 500 S&W - just a .22 cal. when he comes onto you put it to your temple and pull the trigger. Much faster death.
