New guy!
« on: February 03, 2016, 09:50:14 pm »
Hey guys, I've been lurking for a while but I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
I've been into primitive archery, survival, etc for about a year now. I've been flintknapping for probably 7-8 months. Anyway here is some of my work[/img][/img]

Glad to see you here. Those should make a critter bleed.

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

I forgot to mention I only use a hammerstone and antler. If this needs to be moved to the ABO forum (which I just noticed) please feel free to do so

I think you are fine posting here, but I would like to see your ABO tools posted in the ABO section of you can.

the points are looking nice. Good functional pieces.  I would caution against making to heavy of serrations tho. they have been shown to drag wads of hair.

Thanks everyone! I'm glad to be here.
Yes I started on glass, I figured it was free and easy.
These were some of my first points
