Hey Bob how wide is that point.
iowabow:
Tower your attachment to the shaft looks like it held up well. Is that pine pitch and sinew?
iowabow:
This is a copper knapped point I made and that took my first deer. I also made the shaft from red oak. The fibers holding the feathers are milkweed dyed with stag horn sumac and the glue use for the feathers and plant fiber I made from a deer hide. The black material holding the point to the shaft is pine pitch glue. The wrap holding the point is sinew.
The paint on the shaft is made from stag horn sumac (orange) and the black paint is made from charcoal and egg yoke.
If I remember right the bow was 50 lbs.
iowabow:
These are ABO but the post is about flint taking deer with stone points so I think it would be interesting to include. This is from 2012 I think.
iowabow:
Here are the matched shafts which are dogwood. The points were matched in wt. The last picture is arrow at the end of its life.
