here are a few stone pointed arrows, natural rivercane, wild turkey feathers, selfnocks and self knapped points.    sorry points are kinda dirty from test shooting and then re-sharpening   (http://images.imagelinky.com/1315676717.jpg)

That is nice gear!  Doing my best to go all primitive this year.  I have to produce a couple more points and the season is on.
