African hunting arrows (pics)
« on: November 07, 2007, 07:35:13 pm »
Recently got my hands on these. I would be very interested if any of you could tell something about them :)
From where, what they are, how they were used, etc.?

Sorry I can't really help you with your question.  That is a cool collection of arrows though. Thanks for sharing.  Justin

They definately look like some of the African arrows that I've seen in PA magiazine articles.
Actually I think it was an article on the Grayson collection if memory serves.
