I must ask what does heat treating do and is it as simple as putting the rock in a fire? I can get flint on occasion but it's usually from ploughed fields passing through on car journeys so it's pretty battered, I use it for scrapers more or less exclusively due to the poor quality
@Theoutdoorsydad12 сағат бұрын
We're in Florida, where we have chert. Chert doesn't flake well unless it's been heat treated. It crumbles and breaks weird instead of fracturing flakes. Don't throw the rocks directly in the fire, unless you want "caveman fireworks"! They will pop and explode a little... you have to bury them under the fire a little bit for proper heat treating...
@maleindividual74379 сағат бұрын
Thanks I was wondering that, if the pop is just an accepted risk

with atyatl, the accuracy is about 1/4 that of the bow and arrow. It's pretty much just for bison,, horses, camels, in a herd, from a distance. It's not something for deer and smaller game Not only is the accuracy not there, the dart's velocity is low and there's a LOT of your movement for the animal to notice and move.
@bracoop22 күн бұрын
Do you hunt with primitive weapons and projectile points? I’ve never done it. I do know that Ryan’s points on his dart and arrow shafts always look like they’re identical in shape and weight. And he tends to use river cane for shafts which really helps in keeping them all as similar as possible. I think it’s fascinating, I’d love to try and make some arrows.
@sandwichjones6995Күн бұрын
I’ve seen the videos where he hunts boar, alligators, and bison with atlatls, they can be pretty damn precise and deadly with the right amount of skill
@user-ci2mn1oy3w2 күн бұрын
if you want any accuracy, tips have to be made straight/symmetrical, same size, shape and weight as the other arrowheads, and it has to be mounted very straight on the arrow-shaft. Getting all of those things in line is very rare. Also, the Indians used the aborigine grip, ahead of the feathers, which hurts accuracy (a LOT)/ If you can reliably put 5 such arrows on a pie plate at 15m, using such a grip, you're doing great.

If your a beginner. Knap what you like. Obsidian dacite and heat treated chert like flint river, Georgetown or Keeokook . Are all good beginner recommendations. Really decide what you like and pick 1 or 2 materials. Get good with 1 then move on. I'm using flint river chert. I've been at it on and off 2 years and I've already been able to make serviceable knives and tools.

Last trip to Mexico, I bought a handmade manzanita wood bow which is the best wood for bows. It ranks next to horn bows. The maker, a Tarahumara in Creel, made a half-dozen heartwood (pine) arrows with obsidian points. It was bought at the mission store next to Hotel Margarita.

Just because we can doesn't mean we should. Primitives had to hunt like this because it meant survival and it's the best technology they had. We shouldn't have to watch a bison take several minutes to bleed to death standing up because you can't guarantee the depth and accuracy of your weapon (although both shots were impressive).

Is it possible that the clovis points were used somewhat like an all-purpose tool? Sometimes used like a knife, sometimes as a spear point, etc.? If so, it might be useful sometimes to have a concave cutting edge for certain tasks.

That was seriously interesting! Thank you! I imagine that the heavier arrows are quieter too? I understand that some hunter gatherers use extra long arrows--quite a bit longer than draw length. Is there any advantage to that? Have you explored the subject? Thanks, again!

hey Ryan, love your vids. question what roll does arrow length play in relation to draw length? you seem to have arrows about 6'' to 8'' longer than draw length. If you didn't want to use spine tester, would you build arrows 6'' to 8'' longer than draw and keep them all same length to help aid "instinctive aim"? thanks for your time you invest in our community.
@huntprimitive991811 күн бұрын
I prefer a little longer arrow. Around 30-32 inches seems to be about perfect for me to retain the weights I am looking for and make the arrows flight a bit more forgiving
