Curtis, ya need to get a hold of Tim Ott.  He does it the hard way, all bone and stone, no copper or modern versions and he's GOOD.

But ya know, now that I think about it, I can't recall when last I saw him post here.  I bet he goes to paleoplanet too.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

I'm a Knapper. I learned a little from Linc then last year I attended a 3 day class taught by Craig Ratzat. Although I haven't been knapping to much in the last few months. I can't wait to get back at it.

Internet is full of info... youtube vids etc... bestway to learn is to sit and watch some one better than you then start doing it for your self. Ask questions. Never seen a knapper that would not lend their time.

Thank you. I'm thinking about putting it on a rivercane shaft for this deer season.
The notches kind of stalled out but I didn't want to break it and it is serviceable as is.

Hmmmm looking at the pic again I have a little flake that was deeper than the rest just above the right notch in the lower pic.
