I don't hunt with stone. But my buddies that knap and hunt with them swear up and down that smaller heads are key. What they call "bird points" are perfect for deer. I can fully believe that from a physics standpoint.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Will work on getting this one fletched tomorrow after work.   A wise man once told me you could never have too much ammo.  I figured I would follow his advice and make as many of these as I can.  He also said you couldn’t have too many guns.  Making a bow is hard work though.

foeshafting cane gives it a better foc and allows for a stiffer spined arrow ..Heavier.. cane is very light and tough.. I spine my cane at 65 to 70 at 25 inches and then foreshaft about 6 inches which brings my spine back down to 50 to 55lb bow...  to me foreshafted cane is more spine tolerable and just flies better also...gut
