Well, 2nd bow season is in here in IN and I still have a doe tag to fill. I decided that I'll try something a little different. I made a hickory board bow and decided I'll hunt with stone points and see if I can harvest a deer with it. The bow comes in 55 @ 28 62"AMO. The arrows are tonkin cane arrows, the heads were made by a new found knapping friend(Thanks Mike!), and fletched with natural turkey feathers. Stick N Strings(Kris)took care of hafting the shafts for me....he used pine pitch and deer sinew to lash on the heads. I must say, I'm pretty proud of this set up. I still have a few bells and whistles to add to the bow. I got Xmas break coming up and look forward to carrying this to the woods. I'm in hopes of getting an opportunity if the Good Lord is willing. Thanks for looking!

Its all up to you and the deer now!
Well I am sooooooo jealous now.
I was wondering if that fat head was the came loose on you Nathan.
Look forward to seeing some primitive meat. If you get one we'll shuck her and make you some rawhide.
Nice set-up, Nathan. Good luck!
Thanks everyone. I'm ready to get it out in the woods. Kris, if I make any meat with it, you'll be one of the 1st to know. Thanks for the help!
