Whats your primitive set up?

[Sean B]

There's been a few threads on here stone points and stuff like that, it got me thinking. I've been kicking around buying a self bow to shoot some stone tipped points that I have. Well, as luck would have it, I won a self bow in a St. Judes Raffle.  Thank you Glenbo!!

Lets see your primitive set up!!  Bows, arrows, quivers....lets see'em!

[Jon Stewart]

Can't do photo's but:
I made a self bow out of ash, made my arrows out of yellow burch, cherry and pine, tipped with a knapped points that I made and fletched with turkey feathers from birds that I killed in the past. I self nocked the arrows.

Sean, you will find Glen's bows perform incredibly well to boot!

[Sean B]

Charlie, it shoots great!  smooth and quiet.  I'm just wondering if 45# is enough for a stone point?  If not, I have some bear greenies that will shoot just fine out of it.

Here is what I shot this past season, Osage recurve 50#@27", cedar arrows w/ Bear razorheads.

SeanB: I killed my firt deer with a 40# Northern Mist longbow.  45# is more than enough, good luck.

[Sean B]

Nice guys, I've punched holes through both deer and bear with a bow in the mid 40's, but that was a steel head.  How about stone??

[Jon Stewart]

Sorry, that 40# kill was with one of my stone points (flintridge material).  The shot was 7 yards and she ran around 40 yards and piled up.

Don Gilson (pm me for info) makes really nice stone hunting heads.

Holy Crap Walt!!!!, I was so in love with your bow, that I didn't even see the moose!!!!       Impressive    

[Sean B]

Thanks Jon, I feel better about it now.  My cousin is a pretty good knapper, but I can always use more.

[Sean B]

That's it???  No one else has a primitive set up????

[Timberking]

AWESOME pictures guy's! Walt, your picture is simply amazing! What an experience that must have been! I can only dream of being able to kill a huge moose like that with an all wood bow. Sorry for jumping in on your post Sean but I just couldn't resist saying something.

These are just some various pics over the years.
