Title: stone points
Post by: broken bow on December 13, 2009, 11:02:00 PM
i would like to find some stone points/ obsidian points to hunt with.  i was hoping someone might know where i could get some./  i have tried to make my own, but i can't seem to get them big enough or uniform weight from point to point. perhaps i need to get some information on how to make them better.  any ideas would help / thanks

I don't knap but an excellent book on the subject is: FLINTKNAPPING Making and Understanding Stone Tools  by John C. Whittaker

If you can not get them made soon enough to hunt with you can buy them from 3 rivers

Hey broken Bow there try "Billy" over at the Primitive Archer site, I am having him knap some for me. I think he does them 1 for $15 or 3 for $40.

Raptor Archery, they are a sponsor here.  They can hook you up with some.  They will even make you up some arrows with them installed.
