Anyone getting ready for deer season?
Ryan_Gill_HuntPrimitive:
yeah, im getting this years dacite points made up. i am happy with my bow selection for this year. i'd say i am almost ready but its still a ways off til mid sept. got my cane arrows together with the exception of the points hafted. i wont choose the actual points until 2 weeks before. ready? oh yeah.
tired of waiting? even more so.
i have a solid block of styrofoam for shooting my stone into. i just shoot them 2-3 times to make sure they fly nice and consistent at 15 yards and thats it. oh and dont shoot more than one at a time or you will break the points on each other. nothin makes me more mad than ruining a good point over good shooting. ;) - Ryan
Okie:
I'll be ready with my osage bow and cane arra's (if I ever get them done). But I've been practicing everyday with the ol' carbons.
Mike I've been working on the cane shafts and have about 10 straightened now with another 6 to go. One way or another we'll get you a bow finished before season opens. I hope you have a couple of stone points to put on these cane arra's. If not i've got some bandsaw blade I've been making trad points from.

Kegan:
Trying to. Need to buy a new mesh cutting wheel to make some trade points, and need to make up a new longbow (but I don't have any seasoned wood- I'll probably wind up trading for some off here soon enough).
But this will be the first season I've actually got arrows ;D!! I'm psyched ;).
cowboy:
Well, it looks unanimous - most of us have bows stacked in the corners but ain't ready yet cause we need to finish one more before the season :D. Sheesh, I'm in the same boat. Have my huntin bow or three to finish, plus some trade bows "I gotta get out" and arra's. Still got a month till bird season - "dove" and am working on some arra's for that. The list goes on and on...........
FlintWalker:
I've got most of my cedar arrows ready with broadheads mounted. Those are for "Ryans" bow. I still need to haft some stone points on some cane arrows and shoot them a few times. I'm also planning to hunt with a little 60" sinew backed recurve some. I have some shafts straightened and ready to fletch for it, but been to busy to get it done.
As for practice, man it's been hot lately! Most of my shooting has been from about 12 yards in my basement. As soon as it cools down a little, I'll start trying to get in some serious practice.
Anybody here have enough actual experience hunting with knapped points, to say whether glass is tough enough to hunt with? I wouldn't mind trying to kill a deer with an old mason jar, ;D the bottoms knap real nice and look cool too.
Paul, have you fixed up any of them footed arrows we traded for yet? Saw Filer
