Been stumpin' some the last two weekends. Great fun and making progress with my shooting. I broke 3 tips off ( two hammers and one 38 special case blunt) within 15 minutes. They were all Three Rivers Flu Flu's. Am I doing something wrong or just one of the hazards? Still having a blast, primitive is the only way to go. I lLOVE IT!!

As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?

POC breaks very easily behind the point if you hit something hard.

For stumping, get ash shafts and use steel blunts, not cartridge cases. I have ash stumping arrows made like that and they are going on 10 years old now. POC can't handle stump shooting.

My criteria for judging the worth of a traditional or primitive bow:

1.) UMMMM!!! ME LIKE!!!

2.) Uggghhh! Me no like!

Since I started making cane and hardwood shoot arrows I haven't broken any points off.  I did hit a rock with a sourwood arrow and the arrow never shot well again. The rear end looked like a helicopter prop as it went down range...but never broke one. Wink

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.
