A"lil about me

[Mudd]

Welcome aboard Jeff. I love the way you jumped in here. I am of the opinion that your offer to help others is a true sign that you're a "Traditionalist" in the truest sense of the word.

If I can ever be of any assistance just holler.
BTW, I have all kinds of arrow shaft material growing in my yard and the only way it'll ever get used is if there are others that'll use it as I "Hate,Hate, Hate to build arrows...lol

I have Missouri arrow-wood bushes, grey dogwood, privet, Japanese arrow bamboo and none but what little bit Butch took has ever been harvested. Over half of my 3/4 of an acre is grown up in this stuff.

All this proves is.."the road to hell is paved with good intentions!"

Again welcome!
God bless,Mudd

Thanks MUDD !!!! Yes I'll help anyone that truly wants to learn...the "PRIMITIVE WAY" !!!

[shaft slinger]

Jeff, you should be proud of that deer      

[DVSHUNTER]

nice deer. I have three years and counting left in my primitive whitetail goal. All I have left is flintnapping to learn

Jeff: There are other Knappers here. One is Bill Skinner. He sent me these about 2 weeks ago.



I've tried it in the past but I just can't quite get the knack.

[2treks]

Dang Bill, I love that middle one. I saw that when you posted the other day. Sweet.
That is some good looking stuff you got Jeff.
DID I MISS THE BOW PIC?

Geez, I hate making stone tips too but have LOTS of obsidian in my neck of the woods... LOL!   :p  (Hint, hint...   :D  )

Anyways, welcome aboard Jeff! Seems TradGang can add another "40+" years of experience to it's pool. You'll find this place to be one class act.

Welcome, saw your handle and thought I'm gonna like this guy...PR

[Jon Stewart]

Jeff, still learning the stone point making.  I did shoot my first deer with a stone point this year. Make my own arrows and use natural turkey feathers for fletching.

Welcome to the party!
