Hey guys . Here are some arrows i made . The points on three of them are for small game rabbits squrells birds ect. And one point is a beer bottle bottom i knapped out . That arrow with the knapped head has a mahogany insert for a forshaft ( i was copying some ideas from ishi . Hence the black and yellow. And mahogany forshaft ) the feathers are just duck and anything i could find on the ground . For big game i still use store bought arrows and spine them ... but these are just fun and do shoot well .

The aluminium arrow was a store bought and i cut the fletchings off and sinew glue fleched featchers on and made a i dian style blunt tip ... the. Longest one is rivercane and the other 2 are bamboo . I like bamboo better than cane because it is stronger and bends with heat better . Ya know ... bamboo is quite amazing really :) you can do alot with that plant .make bows arrows fishing poles . Torchure people by planti g seedlings under them and tieing them down . The boo will grow right through them . It is super strong and light weight and grows really fast . It floats for raft making ... you can use it to make fire both with fire saw method and drill methos . Blow guns ... the list goes on and on ... bamboo is def. One of the most universal useful flora in the world . . :)

Dude, you ought to make a two hour road trip after I get home in two weeks. I'll send you home with an arm load of arrow material.
The ones you posted look good and primitive. I like how you use what you have.
