Title: Obsidian, Rivercane, and Osage.
Post by: razorsharptokill on November 02, 2012, 10:16:00 AM
I posted this on pow wow but wanted to add it to the 2012 highlights. This is certainly a milestone in my hunting career!

Last night I realized a goal I have had for some time now.

Hunting with a selfbow I made, shooting a rivercane arrow I cut, straightened and fletched, with a point I knapped, I harvested a nice doe.

The shot was about 12 yards, and broadside. I hit 6" high and 6" left. It missed the shoulder blade by 1/4". I was lucky.

The arrow only went in about 6-8". The tip broke and with her running through the brush, it did an amazing amount of damage.

She ran about 60 yards, stopped and stood for a few minutes. I was whispering " please go down!"

Her tail was flickering quickly as I lost sight of her. I listened and thought I heard her stumble and lay down.

After waiting 30 min to get down, I went to get a better light. I went to where I saw her last. No blood. I looked where I heard her stumbling. I walked right by her once and then there she was!

Congratulations on the primitive deer. That is a nice looking bow and point. Do you sell any points you make. That would look good on some of the dogwood arrows I'm making right now. HAH
Good luck on the rest of the season.

Mike

I've never sold any points. Haven't knapped any in a while.

Thanks guys, it is the highlight of my hunting career.
