my goal for the season is to kill a deer with a stone point/wood shaft.  got some super nice heads and sinew in the mail.  already have some cedar shafts..now how do i mate the two correctly?  i dont have a lot of the primitave stuff and im not too worried about keeping it hardcore primitive..just want a stone point on my cedar shafts.  how do i do it?  is there a good video i can watch along?

  Mounting a flint head

I'm no expert, but have done a few. Basically, I used a saw to make a cut cross grain a little shallower than I want the head to be.  Then using an exacto knife and small files I worked away at the slot until the point fit snug.  

I used a 2 part epoxy to glue the point in place and after dry wrapped it in with artificial sinew.

Check the point on a spin tester or by hand as you go to make sure it is mounted straight and true.

are all your stone points matched for weight??

i would weigh them then use a field point of the same weight to tune your arrows with. only then would i mount the stone points.
if your not fussed on being primitive just cut a groove to match your point and glue up with epoxy. like whip said, spin test them as the glue goes off.
also i mount my heads 90 degrees to the growth rings of the shaft. less tendency for them to split that way.

good luck

thanks guys.  may give one a try today.

I believe if you look at the build along forum you will find it there. Take you time doing it. I have built some with stone heads they do turn out nice.

Whatever you do ...make sure you have a good shaft to head taper.. Most Primitive Newbis make them too blunt. I did too many moons ago
Enjoy the "PRIMITIVE" ride ... Jeff
