Thanks everyone. Joe, this is a different bow than the one in my avatar. That one has a stiff handle and rattle snake h=backing and this one bends through the handle and has the chore cherry backing. Bent the recurves on the same form and both are the same length. Good luck with Flip Flop. She's a killer! I know of one trade bow that won't be hunted with this year! d:^( The choke cherry backing is very cool stuff and will add some zip to a bow. Kris, let me check. I might have enough cherry bark for another bow and you are welcomed to it.

Bjorn, anything that steps in front of me. A big fat floppy eared doe will suit me just fine but I will shoot a buck if I have to! d;^)

Pat, in my eyes you will have a good hunt just by carrying your primitave set up through the woods. Just think, when you get a shot and send one of those beautiful arrows on its way it may have been well over 100 years since a cane shaft with stone head, turkey fletch, pitch and sinew flew through that NC air in that spot. Yes sir, you are living the history of earlier bowhunters who walked those woods before us pilgrims showed up. Thanks for posting the photos. I sure do respect you and the other TradGangers who can make and hunt with primitive bows and arrows. Posts: 271 | From: Grapevine, TX | Registered: Mar 2005

Kris, I'm sure we can work something out but first let me check to be sure I still have some. Thanks again guys. I enjoy making um as much as I do shooting um. JEJ. This will be my 4 season hunting with primitive arrows and hopefully I can prove the equipment to be effective. I haven't taken a deer with my primitive stuff yet. I'm pretty particular about having the right situation for a shot when using stone points..at least until I prove otherwise. d;^)

Pat and myself will hopefully have some pics of some bloody stone heads this fall.
I'm pumped about it already!
