Nah, I wouldn't think that.  But, I know you make beautiful bows so it is a special treat to think you might shoot one of mine.

Hey Jorge are those skins on Scott's bow from me? I think I remember them.. Yellow bellies if they are  ;)

Stone tipped dogwood for me.  I don't know which bow yet, but it will either be Osage,ironwood or walnut that much I know.  Josh

  Though the years every now and then stone calls me. But I love metal working my whole life and love makeing knives and trade points,forgeing as much as knapping.
  I always keep a stone head or 2 on a dog wood arrow. But I have to say stone points have aways had something mystical about them to me. Even the ones I make. I hunt stone heads every spring how could anyone find one and not feel that way about them.
  I'm sure the user had to think a little differently. They had to live by them. But when ever they found a old palo tip they had to think the same as we do about them now. THAT IS BEFORE HE RRSHARPEN IT AND PUT IT ON HIS OWN ARROW.

I planned on some Nebraska mule deer this fall but my wife's fuel pump took that money.  So I'll be staying close to home and hunting for deer/turkey with my self made osage bow, cedar arrows and some old bear razorheads.  Can't wait for the looks on public land when seen with me tackle.  It get's them every time.  Oh, and I'll be on the ground as well.

season starts Oct 6th here in Va and more than likely I'll be sittin' up a tree with my maple flatbow
across my lap in hopes that a deer or turkey will wander by..
that is, unless I get off my lazy butt and finish up a sinew backed yew flatbow that I've been working on
for years. but that bow still needs skins glued on it and the tiller touched up a bit.

Yes Cip, but it was just one skin. It was a beauty.

Still going with selfbow just have to decide which one, thinking it will be this black locust since I'm shooting it best right now. Be using trade points on shoot and bamboo shafts. Would hunt with stone but have no knapping skills but would really love to do it that way,
that would be the ultimate for me. Heres what I'll be using come October. Forkhorn deer are my specialty.

Going to try and kill a deer and a hog or two with my selfbow(Ryan Gill osage bow), cane arrows and trade points.
I've hung up my glass bow for the year.
I'm more exceited than I've ever been going into a deer season. It opens here Sept 1!(WMA) and Sept 15 in most of Florida.
Good luck!

I am heading over this week to hunt elk (Bear and cougar tags in hand too ;)).  This will be the first year I hunt primitive.  I will be using a 57# osage longbow I made this summer, and some fir shafts tipped with either Zwickey's or obsidian points (by stringman) if I can get them mounted in time. I am more excited than ever now that I am hunting with a bow of my own making.  Got to go get a few more shots in, and a few more arrows made.

Brain tanned a hide for a fellow that shot this deer with one of those shark tooth broadheads.It had a hole in the hide 5 inches long.He told me a deer was totally disembowled from an angled shot along the paunch by his friend.There were intestines hanging on the top wire of a barbed wire fence the deer jumped over.Talk about damage heh....The buck scored over 170.Shot him at 8 yards right underneath him.Deer of a lifetime in my book.Both these guys used glass longbows but these self bows will do er too.

I will be hunting this year with my hickory longbow and willow arrows tipped with metal trade points. I would love to hunt deer with stone points this season but does anyone know if you can hunt with 7/8 inch or wider stone arrowheads in Texas?
