 Slate will not knap. You can grind it into a pretty sharp point. I've made reproduction Ulu's out of it you could skin with.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Split them a little less than a quarter inch thin, chip them oval shaped, set into the underside of a small turtle shell and use it for a turkey call.
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.

Do you have a few tiles you might be willing to trade?  If you do, send me a PM and maybe we can do some trading.  Bill

How thick is it?  I can probably find some Talahatta if you want to learn a few new cuss words.  Bill
