There has been a lot of interest in hunting with stone point. I've been hunting with the points I've made on and off for the last 5 years or so.

So far, this year has gotten off to a good start.
Here is an 8 point taken with selfbow/stone point on Oct. 2

 

And here is the point I used on him, Got about 15" of penetration.



Here is a young doe I got this morning with a complete pass through.



And here is the point I used on her.



both deer went only about 70 yards before going down.

   

Thats cool. What an honor to harvest an animal with everthing you made yourself.

Bondo, I,m trying to kill a deer with my own stonepoints and my osage selfbow, do you have a tips on point style  or hafting. Sure hoping I can get a chance to try My gear out an gain my own experience but for now open to any suggestions or advice.  Points- texas tabs an obsidian. Hafting with artifical sinew an epoxy.

WHump Sez: Trad to the bone!  Congrats!  Hunt safe  

The doe this morning was number six with stone for me. I have used two different point style. The cahokia or side knotched and corner knotched. I feel like I get better all around penetration with the corner knotched. As far as points go, most any style will work, as long as it is sharp, I don't like any serration on the edge, it has a tendence to "grab" on hair and bone.

As far as halfting goes, I like the natural stuff. It's hard to beat pine pitch mixed with a little bees wax and carcoal. Then wrap with long backstrap sinew soaked in hide glue. Excelant holding power, and easy to change out points if you need to.

Thanks Bondo for all your info. Later Bob

That is great.  So many guys roaming the woods with scoped rifles, and you are putting more meat in the freezer than most of them.  

That's great Bondo.  I haven't made it that far in my own regression; still hunting with steel.  Some day!

       

Thats really neat stuff,good job!

Good job David!

Nothing like old school! Congrats man on two great trophies. No better way to end the year.

     That's going all the way ! Congrats!!

Awesome!!!!

Thanks guys, anyone else hunting with stone this year.

Very cool! Like others have said, it must give you a real sense of accomplishment to use equipment that you made yourself. Congrats!
