Mechslasher made up a couple primitive fish arrows last year with cane shaft and antler points. Pretty cool. I think antler or wood would be the way to go with primitive fish points.

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

i don't have a pic of mine, but i'll take one the next time i'm at my farm.  i'm planning on using it against carp this spring and maybe writing up an article about it.  still waiting on hillbilly's on hunting dinosaur fish.

Chris, I've got it almost finished, needs a couple more paragraphs and cleaning up. Just getting to writing season now, I do most of my writing in the winter.
