I love it!! Those are sweet. Way too purdy not to use.
Impressive workmanship. Talk about commitment! Wow.
Very nice, be sure to show the after pic :thumbsup:
Real nice and about time you posted a pic of your arrows! :laughing:
Working on some primitives myself.
One tip though, Ohio law says hunting heads can not have barbs on the head. I understand the base has to be rounded or at least not barbed as a couple of yours appear to be. Also, make sure they're 1 1/4" wide to remain in good standing with your local game officer.
Good job! Yours look much better than mine do. Do you use a jig and do you grind your own fletchings?
Very nice! I'm looking forward to seeing some bloody rocks.
ho those are way to cool real work of art Jeff. Jeff :thumbsup:
Very nice!
are they sharp to hunt with?
did you glue the feathers and stone tips?
they look awesome btw, i like the first one in the 3rd picture.
Nice arrows, Stoned! They ought to do the trick. Like Joe said some are barbed. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th from the left are barbed as far as North Carolina is concerned. What I do with heads is use a pressure flaker to remove the barb after the point is hafted.
Beautiful!
Best of luck!
Jeff those are beutiful.thats what i'm talking about brother.i getting ready to make me some.i hope they turn out half as nice as those.i am going to be working in downtown cincy starting monday.lot of guys i will be working with live in south eastern ohio and are really good turkey hunters.if i can get some feathers i will send you some.got the bow today.shoots like a dream and i quiet as a church mouse.thanks so much.your friend,steve
It's good to see a person who can make his own bows and arrows.
The rewards are great when you take game with stuff made by your own hand.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless,Mudd

Ohio Reg 2010.2011
This is right out of new REG. BOOK
The arrow tip shall have a mininum of two cutting edges which may be exposed or unexposed and minimum 3/4-inch width. Expandable and mechanical broadheads are legal. Poisoned or explosive arrows are illegal
Yes I did use a bitz to fletch. I hand cut and sanded them in a block. Hand trimed shape
Thats all I see
thats all i saw to Jeff.i think that book you get with your license is a condensed version.you might want to check with the odnr though just to be safe.good luck this season,steve
Steve ..I'm glad Your enjoying your Selfbow !!! , Jeff
Jeff, great looking arrows, you did a fine job on them! In third pic, three on the right from same type of rock? Three on the left from three different types of rock? All look deadly and ready to help you get that OH deer you want, good luck with your hunts with them. :clapper:
That's some craftmanship....good luck
I may have been wrong on the width but, I know somewhere there were rules about barbs. I investigated this some years ago, though the rules can change. Also, somewhere in your game law book there is a statement about those not being the only rules just the basics.
Don't mean to upset you as your work is really good. I'm just trying to watch your back Brother. Wouldn't be worth a fine or confinscation of items made if.n you were ever stopped and checked!
I'll be rooting for your success!!!
Here's one I took a few years ago with a Woody Blackwell head! Thanks Woody!

Steve too cool...Enjoy the selfbow I gave you. Good luck with it this season. Thank you to for the wonderful original Ohio stone point you sent me

you are welcome buddy.thanks for the awesome bow.i need to get off my butt and get down to the river and find some shoots.i need some arrows bad.good luck this season,steve
:thumbsup: I love em!!!
I called the head law enforcement guy in NC to see if he could explain what was meant by a barbed head. He thought for a minute then told me it couldn't look like a fish hook. I said good! none of my arrow heads looked like fish hooks. He thought for another minute and said, maybe you should ask the DNR officer that will be writing the ticket.
Unfortunately the DNR doesn't know enough about stone heads to even make an educated guess and I don't think they care either. When I asked why they didn't have an example of a barbed stone head and a legal stone head the head guy also told me that not enough guys hunt with stone to give a better explaination.
Pat B ..I think your right ..not enough "STONE" hunters to give it much thought... One more ?????? When a Modern broadhead the flips all away around (swivel type) when you hit...seems to me thats a huge "BARB" Hmmmmmm There legal !
Nicely done. I have tried knapping and only make little rocks out of big rocks. You have quite a talent.
I make mine ... But also get a few from Fellow Knappers ..I just love making theses primitive arrow and putting blood on them...(sometimes my own...lol ) Good luck if you try ...I'm always here with any info you might need ..Jeff
Osage ...were did you hit deer? How far did it go? Very nice Deer !!!!!! Proud of You !!!!
I never thought about the expandable heads being barbed but from what I have heard if the back edge of the blade is more than 90deg off the shaft it is a barbed head. I guess they have a better lobby than we stone head shooters do! d;^)

Good point there on those mechanic heads!
:o :o :o WELL,,,,,,,,,, see,,,, he was chasing a hot doe and a standing shot turned to greased lightening in a split second! Anyway, he finally bled out as it clipped the femural artery.
