Hello everyone I'm Abo from Texas and new to the forum. I got into primitive archery in 1991 about the same time that Primitive Archer mag came into being. I remember seeing that first issue and was hooked. I have every Issue that has has been printed and as a matter of fact I just received the latest yesterday. I am involved with about everything pertaining to primitive archery, bow building, flintknapping, arrow making and also braintanning and atlatl. Its all fun. I also am into black powder guns and mountain man rendevouz so I recon i'm just drawn to anything from the past. I would like to send pics but have to learn how to get that done. Looking forward to learning from everyone and helping someone if I can.

Great selection Abo. A variety of well made points. I've been gone for most of the year but hope my new schedule allows me to be back.

Welcome aboard. I only knap, but I love seeing all the craftsmanship you bowyers create. Some of us are practically neighbors. I live in Wixon Valley very near Bryan. Some of the others are in Bryan, College Station, and Hearne. You are showing some very nice chipping. Keep posting.
