This is better then any video game available. Kept my boys entertained for hours every day we camp.

Thank you to all the people associated with the Michigan Longbow Association that have helped my boys get a head start on some quality entertainment and productive activities. This pic was taken Memorial weekend at a Primitive Archery Shoot in Marshall, MI.

Very cool

Awesome!

Good luck to the youngins in their endeavors to make useable points.

My experience with knapping taught me real quick that I had enough skill to make little rocks out of bigger rocks...lol

This is where they were bitten by the knapping bug. Here is my oldest at the Kalamazoo show this past January. When we left the show, Nick had made (with the awesome guidane of Greg) 4 VERY useable heads.

Sorry, double post. For the life of me, I cannot figure out why this phone does that.

Outstanding! Love to see the young ones getting hooked early. Dads/Moms know your resources-there are plenty!

Jerry Russell · June 24, 2013, 06:34:00 PM

That is good stuff right there.

Roger Norris · June 24, 2013, 06:35:00 PM

You have great kids Mike. This winter one of those knapped heads is going to meet a bunny...

Green · June 24, 2013, 07:15:00 PM

Now that's cool!

Fantastic.

Keefer · June 24, 2013, 07:23:00 PM

That's better then any video game that's for sure...It's great to see kids in the great outdoors and not "Napping" on the couch for a change...

VictoryHunter · June 24, 2013, 07:25:00 PM

Very cool!

RecurveRookie · June 24, 2013, 08:25:00 PM

That's great, look at them go!

There is a friend of mine and fellow flintknapper who started flintknapping around the age of 14 and is now 19 years old and he goes by "The Kidknapper". He is one of the premier flintknappers around and his works were selected for THE knapping calendar that is put out . His name is Douglas Alcorn and his works can be viewed on flintknapper.com.

So keep them boys at it Mike. There is always room for two more "kidknappers"
