Antler tine horizontal (shaft) punch
nclonghunter:
keith, are you planning on posting any pics of how you are holding the horizontal punch? Is it the same as JackCrafty's video? Under the leg I believe.

No, I use Marty Reuter's "shaft punch" method:

I have been unable to get the under the knee hold to work. I somewhat got it going once but it really hurt my calf, so obviously I was doing it wrong. As far as I can tell the two methods are about equal as far as power, accuracy and the way the antler works on the stone. I consider them to be more or less the same method, variations of horizontal punching. I imagine there are any number of other ways to do it (and would love to hear about them). More and more I am thinking horizontal punching was used, very possibly by two man teams, in which case any holding systems we come up with to use it working alone are adaptations. (Lost my train of thought there...)

JackCrafty:
Marty's technique (in the video above) is actually a hybrid. Because he is hittting very close to the tip of the shaft punch, it acts more like a vertical punch than a horizontal punch.
