Title: any regs on....
Post by: boneaddict on August 23, 2010, 05:13:46 PM: using flint knapped arrowheads with primitive archery set up as long as they meet weight restrictions.

Between being challenged to "throw rocks" this fall, and watching dual survival the other night, I made my own arrow tonight out of nothing but natural materials. :chuckle:

I found that when someone else harvests the bamboo, lodgepole pine or port orford cedar it's easier for me to come to grips with the project of arrow work. In fact I would recommend Tonkin Cane bamboo for shafting material if you want to try something neat.

This winter I want to build another self bow but I don't have any seasoned wood yet. Once I get one that shoots a little better than my last one.. I'll committ an entire season to using the cave-man bow.

The guys who challenge people to throw rocks and craft their own bows just don't realize that some people don't view it as that big of a stretch from their current setup at all.

YEAH, I enjoy the challenge.

I find that most that challenge me to use rocks and clubs are non hunters, and have no clue outside the paved road :twocents: I would like to get into bow hunting but dont know anything about them, expect they have longer hunting seasons for elk and deer. It just seems too complicated a thing and some of those compound bows have more add ons than my brand new truck. :chuckle:

Post by: sivart33 on August 24, 2010, 07:25:09 AM: Is there even turky up there? I also thought it was tied down, seemed to stugle weird.

First thought was that it was tied down, then it was, the salmon looked way to fresh, then I was wondering if turkys where even up there. I have heard of boars up there, not turkys.... Anyone have info on that

Sure there are turkeys up there. You never heard of the Great Northwest Eastern Rain Forest Turkey? Breed like rabbits and dumb as rocks. Maybe we should just keep this secret between us. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: robodad on August 24, 2010, 11:05:10 AM: I thought he made that arrowhead out of a beer bottle not a rock, Hmmmmmmm :dunno: I'll look around for any regs on using rocks but I wouldn't think their would be any, perhaps just cutting diameter restrictions, weight and barbless would be all their is about it, not sure on the type of materials used is regulated !!

I hope you pull it off, it would be a great story to follow !! ;)

As for the turkey, I'm going to say tied up and the steelhead was planted !! :twocents:
