hunting with glass

<< < (2/2)

Zuma:
I like tempered/plate glass best.
 I have had good luck knapping with table top glass 1/2- 5/8" thick.
I would not hesitate to use it for hunting. Porcelain also.

Seminoles were known to use glass points in Florida. Instead of waiting for Pappy, invest n some back issues of Primitive Archer and look for Pappy's "Aunt Jemima" Deer.

  Glass isn't as strong as osidin.

   I started knapping in the Mid 80's while useing recurves. My first step back from compounds. I started out with glass and used a MARTIN TD. Knapping 1/4" thick old bottle bottems. That first year I shot 3 ground hogs, 2 does and my first gobbler with a bow a jake with a traditional bow and glass points.
