Here is a video we did on the November Gathering of making a primitive Bow.
This was done by Rob Moore our very own cptcaveman and Matt the montecristo.

Thanks for sharing this part of your trip fellas! The bows looked like fun, and that evo looked hot!

cptncavman, am I correct in guessing that you tipped a foreshaft with the arrowhead, then attached the foreshaft to the main shaft on your cane arrow?

yes you would be correct easier to just put another tip on the cane arrow. havent really thought about selling them usually just make them to relax plus its great fun when they actually turn out. shot a block target with it yesterday and field point went in about 6" @ 20' should kill anything up to deer easily if ya get the chance.
