This book is very interesting.  One thing I've learned is that clovis points at this site were not manufactured in the same ways or shaped into identical forms. There is some significant variation.   All these points were found close together and at the same depth.  The book states that some of the finds would be difficult to classify as clovis artifacts if they were not found together.

I've looked at a lot of clovis points both modern and real and I'm seeing that there are many misconceptions about clovis construction that shows up in modern-made points and in books.  I am careful to look only at real artifacts and carefully analyzed objects like flakes, hammerstones, and used tools.  There is no substitute for information gathered at the source.
