Booner that is so sweet of you.

I am just really glad that you guys are accepting of me, and sometimes my silly questions. I have only been hunting for a short time and I don't know a lot about broadheads but I am learning alot from reading what you guys post.

Thanks again,

It is awsome to see females enjoying the outdoors with us guys. I have recently introduced my fiance' into the hunting world. She is starting to open up to it a bit, and understanding why I am so crazed about it. Hunting is a wonderful thing and should be enjoyed, no mater what gender you are.

Archer, that arrow looked beautiful I am very interested in one. I have so much respect for all individuals who are DIY kind of people. I mean honestly who couldn't respect individuals who build there own muskets or long bows, and harvest animals with arrows or sabots that they created with their own hands. I don't know if you hunted much with these points Archer, but I know I have read that you hunt with homemade heads, and I think that is amazing.

I love to be outside, tonight I took my Bow out and got to watch some young deer playing with their momma. Sometimes I enjoy watching them more than trying to shot at them

Camoprincess (and others) I do not sell the items I make. Not the bows, arrows, broadheads, knives, native gear, etc. Selling these items is not why I post what I post. I just enjoy making things. Those things that I make, I use, those things that I don't use, I make and give away. Most every knife I make is gifted. Most go to sporting orgs or other non-profits to be used as fund raisers. The most recent one I posted was for a cancer Hospice center. I am not here trying to hawk my stuff or to advertise and sell stuff. I know you are not implying that at all but I wanted to make it clear to everybody that Im not here to sell stuff. Once a price and a deadline are applied to what it is that I make, I lose interest quickly because then it is just a job or another form of work and the joy is gone from the project.

If I had a knapped stone point primitive arrow on hand, I would gladly send it to you for nothing but I have not made one in a while. I make things as the mood hits me and as time allows. Right now, I am busy working on holiday gifts, another firearms restoration and a few knives that I promised to a couple sporting orgs after the new year. Thanks for thinking enough of the arrows to consider parting with hard earned money. Booner, your a class act as well for your offer to purchase the arrow for her. That is a very nice gesture.

I normally get PM's from people asking how much I charge for (insert item here) and I end up thanking them for their kind words and letting them know my stuff is not for sale. When people learn I give stuff away, I get even more messages requesting things. It's flattering in a way (sometimes it goes overboard) I just enjoy making things and showing or explaining how to do it so others might give it a try after seeing how easy it can be to do.

Now thats what I'm talking about!!

HuntingtonsAssassin · 12-14-2009, 11:39 AM

Thank you for the step by step Archer. I respect that you do this, because you enjoy it, and refuse to sell items. You have intrigued me to give this a try. Is there any other way to tie the heads on?

camoprincess · 12-14-2009, 11:43 AM

Archer ~ I totally respect that! Your work is fabulous and I think it is great that you do things the way you do.

Thanks again, and post more pics I love to look at them

Red Feather Archery · 12-28-2009, 10:22 AM

Beautiful work, Archer. I had an uncle that could knap and arrowhead from the bottom of a Coors bottle. They were cool to look at, and although I never tried one, they looked functional.

Whitmore44 · 01-05-2010, 10:00 AM

That is some great looking work.

yoda4x4 · 01-05-2010, 12:24 PM

Archer - that's some unbelievable work you do right there. Absolutely stunning!

Archer that is some awesome work there. I have a desktop plaque that has an aluminum shaft with feather fletchings, Zwickey broadhead made into it that can be removed. A buddy had this made for me down in Texas, and I just love it but its screaming for a more traditional arrow shaft and napped broadhead.
