Really liking all this primitive stuff. I’m a traditional archer but want to get into primitive archery

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.

That was awesome. I’ve watched the 10 minute challenge at the Flint Ridge Knapins a few times. Just fascinating. Some folks can make art pieces quicker than I can bust one in half. Lol

It would be cool to see a tee shirt with the mammoth, with all the cuts that would come from it. Steaks, ribs, roasts, et al :)

Thanks for keeping the old primitive skills alive. ❤ . I love to nap. What's the best thing for a I'd say like a medium skilled napper to napp with? What material?

@justsomeguywithaboomerang1891 6 ай бұрын

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.

Is that small soft hammer tool moose or elk?

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

@Theoutdoorsydad 6 ай 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...

@maleindividual7437 6 ай 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.

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.

@sandwichjones6995 6 ай 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

you might want to watch some of Ryans many videos and read his book, because you are posting alot of bad info bud

@paulp1a 4 ай бұрын

The people who used atlatl's used them daily, since childhood. They could probably hit a half dollar at 30 yards with a dart. What you stated makes sense but your also not giving our ancestors much credit. They were smarter and better at this than us today because they had to be.

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.
