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.
