« on: May 11, 2014, 10:00:06 pm »
Just bought this today...don't know much about it except my wife and I really liked it.

  Any info on it would be greatly appreciated!!

 It is cane and a little over 5 feet long and the point is steel.
My son says I shoot a stick with a stick!!

That is a very cool arrow. Try Goggling "antique steel fishing points"  Looking forward to reading what you find out.

 A friend has 4 of them with different hammered points, and a forged ax along with a crude bow. The ones he had came from the Congo, and was bought in the thirties or forties. His had Guinea feathers.

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

PRIMITIVE ARCHERY what other way can you play with sticks and rocks all day and not look like a little kid

Every time i shoot at a bunny i recall the wise words of Elmer Fudd "I've got you now you waskally wabbit!"

MAN!! I'd love to find a cool @$$ arrow like that in an antique store. That thing is awesome. African? Maybe Appalachian, how about a pikeing arrow?

That looks like it would get the job done.  It'd be cool to do a replica of that one, and take it carp fishing >:D.  What did you pick it up for ? If you don't mind me asking ::)
