Title: My first primitive arrows
Post by: Gordon on July 04, 2013, 06:12:36 pm: I decided that I am going to try hunting with stone points this year so I made myself up some primitive arrows. The points are obsidian and the shafts are Douglas fir - I got both from Carson at Echo Archery. And I learned how to haft the points by watching Carson's excellent YouTube video:

For my first attempt I'm pleased with them.

I would think the Deer, and or Elk, should be jostling for position to be the first shot with those! That would be considered a distinct honor for them! ;)

Great looking sticks!

I have set, observed, and practiced what I learn from this site for a year or so.
I have to say, you always produce outstanding works of art. "Literally"
I always admire your work.
