Does anyone know of a source for custom built flint tipped hunting arrows? I am not real vbig into archery hunting, just like to try it from time to time. Not into flint knapping, just have an old 40 pound pull Herter's FiberGlas recurve bow that I have killed one javeliba with using a hand made flint tipped arrow that a friend gave me. I would like to try and take a white tail doe with this bow and a flint tipped arrow and would appreciate any information on a source for arrows. Even the rocks don't last forever. | ||

Thanks for the info, I have looked at their site, I don't remember if they sell finished arrows, other than wall hangers. I don't want to buy the parts and build them, I want to buy finished arrows that I can hunt with. As I said I am not that big into archery, but I think killing a doe with a flint tipped arrow would be special. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

I've been flint knapping a bit lately and starting to make decent heads, someday I'll make some arrows and kill something with them. You could go to tradgang and ask the question there are a couple of guys who make primitive arrows on the site. I bet you'll have to pay some bucks though because it takes a hell of a long time to make primitive arrows. Probably a couple hours per arrow at least. In Alberta the best shaft material is red osier or wild rose canes. Both have to be found in just the right habitat bo make decent shafts. I think in texas you could get river cane and make some very nice arrows. | |||

You can also try the Primitive Archer web site. Somebody there can help I'm sure. DRSS | |||

Also Google the Paleoplanet Web site. Ground zero for primitive arts. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

One peson off the AR sent me a couple of pm's about flint tipped arrows and between work and the weather my enthuiasm/optomism level has been low and with the break we have had in the weather my spirits have picked back up a little. I loked at a few places on the web, but most folks are interested in teaching flint knapping and arrow making and have the supplies,. but I have enough projects going the way it is. Paying for already made arrows, say 1/2 dozen to hunt with while probably being expensive is a better option to me then spending several months learning how to make them myself. Yes. killing something with an arrow I built myself would be special, just like catching fish on the flies I tie. It is just that it is easier to learn how to tie flies that will catch fish than learning how to build an arrow that will kill a deer. I need to get back in touch with the person who semt me the PM's and see what all he had to say. It is too late me for me try for a doe this year, but that don't mean I can't get things ready for next year, it is just that I am not that much of a purist so and I have way too many other irons in the fire to start another project. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Thanks for the info, I will check it out. The price per arrow is not the issue, and I already have bow. It is simply that I have enough projects going on and taking up another is not really an option. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||
