Stone Tipped Arrows

[Mechslasher]

i guess i was inspired by my own article to make another set of cane arrows.  this set is made from sasa bamboo, antler nocks, sitka spruce foreshafts, and obsidian points.  taking this set on a hog hunt in a couple weeks. enjoy!

Very nice, can you tell me why you put a fore shaft on them? I have made a few but have not done one like that. What are the advantages?

ranger, i just had a "how to" article published in the bowyer's journal mag on how i make my cane arrows.  the advantages of the foreshaft is it saves the main shaft of the arrow from breaking after impact.  the impact forces or separating while the animal runs through the woods "breaks" the mainshaft off leaving the foreshaft to do more damage.  they are very labor intensive but they work because i killed two hogs last year using foreshafted cane arrows.  the foreshaft snapped off perfectly saving the mainshaft.

I never heard anyone talk about it but I always thought how much damage an aluminum arrow that didn't pass through and got knocked around on brush as an animal runs would do to the vitals. Carbons just snap.

It's like the primitive version.

pretty arrows btw.

Those are really cool! I wish I could get mine to look that nice. I'll keep practicing.

swamp, imagine how much damage a shattered obsidian point does when it's churned around.  the edge on chipped obsidian is sharper than any steel edge known.

Beautiful arrows Chris.  I've got a sample of your rock chipping ability and can attest to the sharpness of stone.  Way to go.

Mechslasher,I gotta say them are some really sweet looking arrows there.I've got a couple cane arrows in my collection that were given to me several years ago.But the end of the cane shaft slips in or out ? foreshaft ? it's made of hardwood and has the head mounted to that section.Not to sure but the maker mentioned something about maybe the critters pulling the arrow ? but lieveing the broadhead end in the critter  to do it's work ? is that kind of the idea also along with easy replacement of the broadhead ??? thanks bowdoc

[d. ward]

the bottom arrow is the one with the removeable tip section ? foreshaft ? There was another name he called it ? but I will be darned if I can remember what it was called ? thanks again bowdoc  

[Swamp Pygmy]

bow doc that is neat too. I can see barbing the foreshaft (assuming it sticks out past the riser) to make it stay in the animal better too. That would be a wicked arrow.

Those are some beautiful arrows.
