« on: December 13, 2009, 11:02:00 PM »
i would like to find some stone points/ obsidian points to hunt with.  i was hoping someone might know where i could get some./  i have tried to make my own, but i can't seem to get them big enough or uniform weight from point to point. perhaps i need to get some information on how to make them better.  any ideas would help / thanks

I don't knap but an excellent book on the subject is: FLINTKNAPPING Making and Understanding Stone Tools  by John C. Whittaker

If you can not get them made soon enough to hunt with you can buy them from 3 rivers
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

Hey broken Bow there try "Billy" over at the Primitive Archer site, I am having him knap some for me. I think he does them 1 for $15 or 3 for $40.

Raptor Archery, they are a sponsor here.  They can hook you up with some.  They will even make you up some arrows with them installed.
What would you attempt to do, if you knew you could not fail?


Never leave the one you love, for the one you like.
