Some really good reading in the latest issue.  Thanks go out to Patrick Blank and Billy Burger for some good knapping info.

I noticed how Crackjafty's column is now 2 pages. The dark side is taking over!

That's right, Jalverson...  and I'm looking for someone to blame.  All you new knappers askin' all these pesky questions about antler and wood billets and such.  What's the world comin' to, I ask yeh?

Seriously, I'm doing a lot more abo knapping these days and will be sharing as much as I can on the subject.

The main thing I've learned is to know and understand the limitations of the material(s).

The knapping article rounds out the magazine nicely. I mean, it is Primitive ARCHER, right?  It's all things archery related as long as it is on the primitive side.  Bows are all well and good, but they are unweildy sticks without their ammo!

I agree this is one of my favorite issues yet.  Really enjoyed the fletchung article.  A lot of really good info in there.
