Forging question

Yesterday I challenged myself to draw out a scrap of spring steel into a small skinner for a friend. Most if it went well. I drew the width. I set base choil area. I “banana” it down. When i fot to the tip it was thinner than Im used to and refused to turn a belly. I ended up with a sheepsfoot

Any advice is welcome.
