out of all the points I own I think this is the very smallest one, (I think it is pretty close to actual size after 3 tries)
post your tiny point here
there must be more out there some place
I will display it on a dime since it seems like a good idea as it is so hard to get actual size posted (last 2 images)

When I see those tiny points I always think ... blowgun.  They just seem too small to be of use in any kind of bow.  Perhaps this is the Native American version of 'baby's first' as in baby's first bow and arrow.  I suppose that would make a certain amount of sense as you would want to start teaching the next generation how use the tools of hunting asap so that they would both be more highly skilled in the long run and would be of use to the tribe as hunters sooner.

Great little points guys.

Those are awesome Atlantis.  thumbsup

Here is some of my small ones. I have one that is smaller but I engraved a spot in the handle of my long bow years ago and epoxied it in. I don't bow hunt anymore and my bow is in my other house about 3 hours south. I'll try and take a pic when I go down for Christmas.

  Here's a few more ...

                                                         JPEGlongshort.jpg


      This pic is pretty much the long and short of it ,.out here in S.D. California . My longest points are 1 5/8in. long , and my tinyest one 5/16 in , but I'd say 3/4 -7/8 in are most common .
       I just weighed some for fun , and on agv. they weighed a bit less then .5 gr. , my heaviest [orange on rt. side pic] was 2.05 gr. , and the my Tinyest  .12 gr .

      Hay there Larson ,....I'd say your in the running for "Tinyest" as well ... Grin..Blindpig

It was her first, hopefully not her last. She found it in northern Wisconsin on property my father owns, hoping to get up
there as soon as the snow is out this coming spring. The study-pack (great term by the way) from Neo had a big part
in my daughters search, if she had not seen it I doubt she would have made an effort to search.

I have that kit placed in a glass topped, hinged display that I hope to add too. It will be passed on to another lucky
recipient when we have finished and can contribute to it, hopefully making it a growing/mobile learning tool.  Wink

Larson, I passed along your comment, she still asks questions about it (who/what/etc) which is a great sign.  thumbsup
