I think this would be a good challenge to see if any of us could make like some bamboo arrows with tied on fletching tipped with a home maid arrow head.

Re: Lets make a glass arrowhead.
Now that took some practice! Don’t think I have the years left in me to learn that skill, but it may possibly be easier than I’m thinking, interesting.

Re: Lets make a glass arrowhead.
There are several ways to produce an arrowhead. I have never tried but have seen some metal homemade heads made that i would consider primitive. Could be a fun challenge. I dont have the time and patients to learn how to knap a head.

$5 each.
I'm going to give it a go.

Re: Lets make a glass arrowhead.
Have you tried them yet?
From everything I've read, bamboo arrows ("nature's carbon") doesn't have to be necessarily straight or kink-free to fly like a dart and hit the spot.

Re: Lets make a glass arrowhead.
I've made some before and they are very suprising.
Haven't put these together yet but I'm planning to hunt with.

Re: Lets make a glass arrowhead.
That’s cool for sure. I really enjoy the HuntPrimitive YouTube channel, he has a ton of videos making and hunting with stone pointed arrows and atlatal darts
