 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

thanks Shannon, Roger. Eddie: a hernando or kirk either one would be great for all ages and skill levels. I'm thinking that fluted Cumberland may be good for this time next year after we all practice for awhile ;D. Hillsborough's are very nice and neat - maybe for March?

 Hillsboroughs are the money artifacts in Florida. They are usually thinner, and shorter than Newnans or Marions. The natives that made them were highly skilled. Most of the $6 and 7 thousand ones are paper thin, all percussion flaked and heat treated, high grade Coral. Out of my league. When I see Rick, I will take some pictures of his artifacts and Claudes points and we can play Billy's game of "guess the fraud".

I didn't realize they were so thin Eddie - may have to try a few to see how thin I can go ::).
 thanks Jesse. That looks a lot better than just an attempt Strongbow - good lookin point and that's some wild lookin rock.

 Strongbow, that is a great looking Bolen, I've found some that look just like it. What kind of rock is that? Paul, I'll try to get into Rick's collection this weekend and post some pictures of real, quality, Hernando's and Hillsborough's. I've never seen a real Hernando over 4", after that they start looking like Tallahassee'. Heck, Rick has some $3000 Hillsborough's that are 4" long.

I dont know what kind of rock it is a guy my mother in law works with gave me a hand full of flakes he found and a couple broken point and one flake was large enough to make a point out of. probably some kind of chert.I will post pics of the other stuff if you want.
                                                                           thanks
