This has been a topic that following it has been rather unusual. Given that some of the points I have collected over the years, have been the "Bird Points" comming out in areas that also produce the larger points as well.
The smaller points could be used as easily as any larger points and the available material may have limited them to making the smaller points.
Hypothisis is a great way to create controversy.
Here's something you may want to ponder......the larger points that are made from material that was difficult to accquire may not have been thrown at all.
If anyone has been on a "Deer drive" you know that you hide near an area and wait till the other hunters force the deer into an area that you can get a clear shot at them.
Now suppose you were an Indian and you were hidden in a crouched position near a trail in the bushes and the deer was comming your way.
The undergrowth would not allow you to throw your weapon but you could "Lunge" and put your body weight into the thrust. You would penetrate deeply into the cavity of your prey release your weapon and allow your prey to run. All along the way every bush it passed every tree would strike the shaft of your weapon and the point inside your game would slice it's way through the innards. Ensuring a kill.
This is not my smallest point but it is the last "Birdie" I found.
