Ishi Arrow Part 1. How to make a primitive Native American Arrow for primitive archery hunting

[@murrayandru7527]

Ishi , Pope , Compton and Young had some adventures back then , soon to meet up with a guy called Fred Bear. In the early 70's finding Fred's books inspired me to get into Archery . It's not the killing, it's the journey , and the time spent that most of us sportsman and women enjoy . Kudos Shawn hope you inspire many .Thanks for the video, I enjoyed it

Me : I’m going to bed early. Me at 3am : How to Make Native American Arch and Arrow.

[@SumGuy.9]

Very relatable me right now lol

[@armbender777]

I know nothing about primitive bow hunting... your videos really captured my interest.. very interesting and informative. thx Shawn

[@WRHAP]

This is really cool Shawn. I have seen documentaries on Ishi. Your videos really brings things to life. Thanks for the book recommendations!

[@crittercosner2877]

Remember when Shawn didn't kill mice for a living? SO MANY MOUSE TRAP VIDEOS!

[@BulgrozTseNob]

He forgot where he came from to go to something more lucrative. Sad, but understandable. I wish he could make some more primitive videos too.

[@jonajo9757]

I wish he could do another addition to the series of native american arrows he's done. Hell, I have another type of native american arrow that I know of that I want to tell him about. Along with the type of bow used.

[@zaclapz4890]

Ya these vids r WAAYYY better than them

[@pynskhemboksyiemlieh8037]

[@ThirdLawPair]

@@BulgrozTseNob Or he mastered his craft of hunting deer with handmade bows and arrows, so he had to move on to more challenging game.

[@georgia-b2d]

My grandparents were Native American. A lot of us don't know we're aborigine. We all don't come from Africa. Time to get back to our roots. Great video!!

[@bilious9754]

Thanks for your hard work and detail in keeping the ancient craft alive.

[@PrimitiveLifeways]

You are truly skilled my friend! I would love to catch up with you sometime

[@WAGONJON]

Thank you for starting this series. I am very interested in Ishi's bows, arrows, and his way of life. Since first grade I have had an affinity to Ishi. Having lived in Oroville I am very familiar with the area and where he was found.

[@Thesterness]

Thanks! Whoever thought that up was a Paleolithic genius. Very clever, and very useful.

[@peacefulsleep7751]

Man i miss these types of videos from you

[@TannerWilliam07]

As a Lakota Indian, I actually know of a root that turns blue under circumstances, and their location is a bit of a secret among my community. Unfortunately, like 78% of modern medicine comes from American Indigenous people, from cancer treatments, to fiber; from the famous aspirin, to cough medicine. A lot of our communities secrets get stolen and sold and we never receive credit - so I appreciate you taking the time to make a video that treats Ishi with respect and giving him the credit all indigenous people deserve! P.S. - there's Indians who don't have social security numbers and live in America, Ishi is "known as" the last "wild" Indian, but there are others today in 2024! =)

[@elcochipit]

great video, you are a master on the subjet, congratulations!

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Yew would make a great fore shaft. It is hard, dense, and very similar to Mt. Mahogany heart wood. Love the videos even though you are a duck. keep up the great work.

[@colbyrichardson1060]

Extremely intricate, nicely done

[@vcpsfv]

This is amazing. Thank you for keeping history alive!

[@Thesterness]

I've noticed that both Ötzi's arrows and Ishi's arrows have removable foreshafts. Since you've done videos on both, can you tell me if that method for making arrows arose independently in Europe and North America, or whether it dates far back into prehistory?

[@gtgodbear6320]

That compound Arrow idea was genius

[@cetuspa]

Your videos are powerfully good and a real joy to watch.

[@primitivepyromaniac5037]

Interesting to see such long obsidian arrowheads. I though that material was too brittle for long and thin arrowheads. This demonstrates the fine craftsmanship that went into the making of those arrows. Would Mountain Mahogany heartwood make a nice bow wood? (If a long, straight piece was available)

[@MrFrosty1967]

Very impressive and educational! Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@jtc1947]

How was the main shaft drilled to accept the fore-shaft deals???

[@hsfoutdoors7099]

The deer horn is called an antler and this video was great thanks for the help

[@probegt75]

I noticed that too but I'm not that much of a douchebag to point it out. 💪

[@chuckgdry]

Great video, I enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to part 2 and beyond.

[@milesdavis9124]

Nice job on the bows and arrows. Do you make any that you would sell?

[@MustObeyTheRules]

I hope you show how to drill the shaft out for the fore shaft mine always split when i try

[@markdubois3614]

Deer antler, But what terrific and very informative Channel on very rare and disappearing and useful skills!

[@navidmehdi6]

so no one is gonna mention the gucci Arrows

[@LivingHistorySchool]

seems like yew would be good for fore shaft around here, excellent video.

[@mazer4112]

Shawn, thank you so much for sharing all you have learned, it looks like you have spent many hours working on your skills, it shows!! Do you teach or sell any of your archery tools??? Thanks

[@radioactiveemissions3859]

AMAZING ARROW,MAN AND STORY.❤🧡💛

[@TheTribeOfBenjamin]

Awesome! and all primitive!..Awesome stuff, Man!....Ben

[@098317]

Good video - I've owned and read Kroeber's book about Ishi many times. But I don't agree with your title of his bow being 'primitive'. Lots and lots of people have made and used primitive bows, including us English and the 'Long bow'. Perhaps they should just be called 'simple' bows?

[@ArmyStinger150]

So cool man, thanks for sharing this....awaiting part 2.

[@coltstovall1843]

When you harvest sinew how long do you let it dry out before using it?

[@skylerarroniz5686]

Thank you for sharing and being respectful 😊

[@franzaguirre541]

Weew!! What a nice arrow. Im new at here.

[@npalmi88]

Ishi? Was he Ainu-japanese or native american?

[@PlantBoy1129]

How did ichi make the wild onion dye? Here in Maryland that stuff is everywhere and I want to try and make it some day

[@braydenedenloff1610]

what is the shellac he used? i am interested in the primitive painting he did on these arrows but what did he use as a binder?

[@GamePhysics]

His favorite was hazel? Matter of fact, I know the exact location of 1 single hazel tree. They seem to be rare where I live. Maybe I'll go to collect some from that tree another day! :D

[@AldoSchmedack]

Plant nuts, make more grow!

[@Kashtukprimal]

Awesome! Cant wait for part 2!

[@WHPASSASSIN]

Can you make a how to for a bow? I like your videos, find them really helpful.

[@hansenator5000]

Hey! That's gotrocksinhead! Really great video

[@ashleybuckner8773]

I saw the materials list. Where did Ishi find Mahogany? It’s one of the most dense woods found in Tropical and Asian climates. Like Teak.

[@estarchery]

Hazel versus Witch Hazel - aren't those different? Ishi preferred the latter.

[@mr.a4583]

cant see why u dont have at least 100,000 subs

[@jonathanohnmeiss6626]

Shawn....what are you making bowstrings out of?......natural? rawhide?.....or you just using dacron?

[@delljohnson172]

Any one ever try to break a 1/8" wide strip of HEMP/MARIJUANA bark.? several strips rolled together should not break. cat gut was used long ago too..

[@jackermis3104]

What pigments/materials did you use for the paint shawn. Also, how do you tie the sinew???

[@chinogabesv650]

In another video he states sinew doesnt need tying it bonds to itself and shrinks as it dries up

[@clayarbuthnot3417]

What size point is that

[@torianholt2752]

It's crazy that Graham Greene here also provided the voice for Rains Fall in RDR2.

[@Saylor480]

Where did he find that big black stone

[@ramonarroyo5573]

Sweet videos bro. Hope all is great

[@jamesceccato774]

where do u even get that shyt for the arrow head? o.O

[@zacharyheard4188]

hey can you do a more detailed video on bow making

[@BennyHns]

How long have you been into this?

[@calumlittle2]

GamePhysics, you really should harvest that Hazel. It will be good for you and the tree. Leave some of it and it will grow back even more than it would if not harvested.

[@billyjoedenny]

excellent video,going to part two.

[@BlazeTheNinja01]

Are you left handed

[@ramonarroyo5573]

You should do a new channel how to. Very cool

[@mtntoughoutdoors5882]

Hi Shawn I just made a KZbin channel but I love your videos

[@quintonmartin6264]

i live in texas what are the types of wood that would work as a good shaft

[@leonaylesworth3045]

+Quinton Martin I live in Texas as well, and have made a bow from Bois D'arc trees. More commonly called Horse Apple or Osage Orange. The yellow heartwood is extremely hard. Staves should be cut and dried for at least a year, often times longer, but I believe there are ways to shortcut this. A man in Wichita Falls, Texas by the name of John Beecroft can help you, as helped me. he also has a online store. johnnybeecroftco.com/Bows.html hope this helps.

[@olivierpineau1183]

Can make a video on how to make a bow i really like your video :)

[@twintwo1429]

You are making ishi arrows, ANGELINA JORDAN at the age of 12, is singing the most difficult songs in the world, with soul and proficiency of the original artists.

[@achyutsanap5265]

Hey which type of stone did u use for that arrow there!!?? Please reply I am dying to make one done pointed arrow please please!!! Reply

[@_Ciiitron_]

by the looks of it i'd guess obsidian.

[@achyutsanap5265]

Ohhk thnx

[@DraculaSSS]

It's obsidian

[@clif4rd1]

Great video.

[@STINSONShobbies]

Is there a way I can contact you about trading because I teach Indian lore at a Boy Scout camp and I need some good examples

[@spartansteel8732]

Doesn’t it look like a green screen at 2:21

[@RyanDrake67]

Did you see how he is holding the arrow on the outside?

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thanks for sharing 👌

[@samuelwilliamson3694]

Could you do a vid on how to get the sinew off of the deer and than how to process it? Thanks.

[@woodcutter610328]

well done ... keep them coming :-)

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

Oh, well that explains it, Saxton Pope is wrong....I think, since antlers grow and then fall off, and horns continuously grow and never fall off. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as we know what is meant : )

[@TheDesertwalker]

Very cool...

[@cretudavid8622]

Omg.... finally I have tons of Hazel....
