I agree deo! although, for me, i want to have made an abo bow and set of arrows, and string. and then to have killed a deer with it before the age of 30. That gives me 12 years...

J dub teaching? ????kids ??? I'm not sure if it's a grand idea...or a really bad 1 :-\
 As far as the stone tool made bow Way to go!  man that is really cool ;)

Heck, when I was a kid, they used to warn strangers to not take candy from me. 

Have you thought of doing a video of a paleo bow build, Jamie?

Awesome Jamie. Glad to see ya back at it. The one stone bow that I started is still half finished and sitting on the back bench. Sure gave me and understanding of the effort involved. Well done!

Hop to it Keenan!!!! Tracy i really just use debitage. Antler chisels and wedges too. Don't care much for halfted tools. Jw I have a lot of vids I'd like to do but when I do this stuff its because I found fifteen minutes of freedom and don't think about taping it.

Jamie:
That is one nice looking stone carved bow.
You inspired me to make one a few years back.
Mine looks like something some low brow, knuckle dragging cave man hacked out with a rock. ;D
It shoots.  But the tiller is off and it has quite a bit of hand shock.

May have to make another some day.
