    I use all kinds of obsidian, chert, flint, and I am trying some Agates.
    aluminum piece screws into your arrow I buy from archery supply
    real sinew, pine pitch, and I do put a modern epoxy on them to start
    they have gone thru pigs shoulders and into trees w/o breaking.
    Some have broke, and some have been thru multiple animals.

    we always joke about that, but they make huge holes.
    we joke about making a folding knife too.
    I think this one is my opening morning head for my compound = I will have recurve too. Last Spring my bird circled out too far for my recurve so I shot with compound. It has 2" and 1-15/16" hooks; glad I did

    I made a video of fieldpoint accuracy with
    a big flint knapped head
    shot at 15 yds out of my Hunter
    which is normal turkey killing distance (DSD helps with that). I am no expert on shooting a compound, and I was aiming at the little turkey but both arrows hit pretty darn close
    this head being shot was a "throw away" unbalanced and dull= never finished the knapping on it because it failed my inspection ;)
    but still does well!



    I like BIG Kinetic Energy.
    100 grains are made also by me, but .....
