 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Made a trip from SC to PA and brought some rock back with me years ago.
Happy hunting to all!

Well - between a full time job - raising grandkids and a honey-do list that never gets any shorter I never get to go anywhere that isn't work or family related and unfortunately most of those areas are not near any nice rock!  Thanks to the USPS for coming up with flat rate boxes and thanks to the folks who have used them to send me rock in Yosemite. Met a German Knapper years ago and he gifted me some flint from the Baltic Sea region in Europe. Some day I will get to do some traveling and see the places where all of your materials are coming from. Keep up the great works - teachers and learners! Ben

About 5 hours.  Hey, does sitting neck deep in a creek, digging my hands in sand up to my elbows count?  Me and another fool did it for about 6 hours, the hard part was getting the buckets of rock up a 30 foot powder sand bank.  We got about 1000 pounds of Tallahatta.  Bill
