Bird Points?

[Airborne80]

These were found yesterday and are pretty small. I wonder if they are bird points or just flakes.

Afternoon,

The one on the left is a possibility. Here are a few birdies around a penny.

Happy Hunting,

Thanks and those are great points. I am still shocked that they made them so small. It seems that there would not be enough weight to make the arrow fly straight. very cool pic.

Completely dumb to this but were some of them(bird-points) used to shoot/spear fish?

Hey...... your thought is NOT a dumb one to me. I am the guy who posts glass and rocks here, believing that they may be arrowheads hahaa. That being said, I wonder the same thing. The site that I hunt is along the water and every now and then, in addition to trash and rocks, I actually find pretty small points and wonder the same thing. I am sure one of the "experts" here can better answer that. Thanks for posting

I think the term 'bird points' refers to a tiny point which could be used to hunt anything small- critters, birds, fish...
I think that's what I read here once a while back.

Speaking of experts, I always cringe when I here that term--to that end I have always thought of an expert as:

EX--- is a has been

Spert--is a drop of water under pressure. --given that-- an expert is a has been drop of water under pressure.

No experts here just projo point hunters.

IMO an bird point simply refers to any true arrowhead as they were all pretty small and used to hunt pretty much anything that is hunted today with a bow and arrow. Most larger points that people think are arrowheads are not- they were atl atl points and knives. There wasn't two different types of bows, one regular and one bird point, only one. Neither of these to pieces looks to be anything, one on the left might be a flake but I kind of doubt it.

Primative Archer magazine June-July 2008 issue has an interesting article where bird points were used in a test from a 40X bow on a deer carcass. The results showed these are deadly archery hunting points, and would easily take out a deer, and would probably be effective on bear. Great article, check it out if you can.

You rock! That sounds like an awesome article and I know that I will check it out. Thanks for that.
