I have wondered if anyone has ever made their own arrows using these arrowheads and hunted with them.

Not a great idea unless the points are retouched before using.
Freshly knapped obsidian is sharper than any steel.
Stone points that have been laying on the ground for years will undoubtedly be dull.
A person that has the skill to retouch a point also has the skill to make one from scratch.
