Thank you Billy, great video. What would be the typical dimensions of these Sioux war arrow points?

Thanks Billy for the great informative video !

Great work Billy i always enjoy seeing your research in to our ancient weapon systems .

If you can’t tell, your channel is (Thank The Lord) popping up in algorithms. I’d bet $$$ if that doe was alive that first arrow would have been a full pass through!

That's 17.1 grams, and 20.4 grams.

Very interesting test and comparison! Keep em coming! Excellent video!

I remember seeing a timber rattler fed a mouse slightly smaller than that. Death was within a couple of seconds-I was shocked. The snake began eating the mouse in 10 to 20 seconds after the bite. I figured the dosage of venom must vary a lot between individual snakes.

Stone point are and will always be sufficient if made properly.

lol the music😂

Forgot to mention…SUBBED! Thank you Sir!

I’d imagine the arrows going much deeper/through if it were alive! I can’t help but think with a heart pumping and blood/fluid through all the living tissue would help it to pass through. How long had the buck been dead before you tested?

Try 30yrds

Cherokees also made river cane arrows, but only used 2 feather fletchings instead of 3. I bought a hickory Cherokee bow at the Cherokee Reservation in Western, NC at the eastern base of the Great Smokey Mountains. My Grandfather was 1/4 Cherokee and born in Hickory, NC. His Mother took him on a train to Oklahoma to meet his Western relatives. He contracted malaria there. His son got malaria while fighting in the Pacific during WW2.

Your channel is my most used channel for primitive skills knowledge. After trying for ages to knap, you helped solve a lot of things that were difficult for me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with all of us!

Love this Billy. So glad you’re putting videos out again buddy.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Billy, these videos (and others) have truly helped me to work on my sustainable lifestyle ambitions. Thank you.👍🏻

😮😮😮

❤

👍

Its been a while since an upload of this caliber

Excellent!

So why aren't you getting pass throughs? Arrow diameter? I was sure it'd pass through at that range. Never mind, I assumed the arrows weighed more than they did. Why aren't you building heavier arrows??

Well apparently 45 seconds or so lol. Just wanted to say thank u Billy I came across your bow making series years ago and been a fan since. Definitely became a passion of mine

Woww, thats amazing billy!! How fast are those arrows coming out of that bow?? I have the exact same setup. 320 grain read arrows with a sinew backed juniper bow but my bow is only 30lbs but it flings those arrows 160fps! I just wanna know the speed of yours so i can make a good penetration estimation for my bow and arrows.. here in ND we have Phragmites australis americanus. They are kinda red at this time of year but as they dry out they turn that tan color.

I am so impressed with people that can process Sinew

Was that the Hangin Rock snake?

That is wicked cool man.

I'm thinking they weren't hunting the way we do. I would think the bow was more of a execution tool. No what I'm saying?

Thank you for the update

Been waiting to see this thanks !!!

Nice.

I kept a Copperhead for a while and I remember it being even faster than. They all got immediately bitten whether he intended to eat or not.

Sweet

Yeah boii!

First ✨

Coming back to this video and seeing it be 13 years old is crazy! I use to rewatch this series over and over again when I was a kid trying to make a functional bow. I then gravitated to modern archery and now I’m bored with it. So here I am again…10 years later. Glad to see you are still posting videos and man I’ve missed primitive archery. Time to make a bow now that I’m more able bodied and able to comprehend instead of being a mush brained child 😂

Awesome channel! Go ducks!

Gar fish scales make good blowgun dart points, as do honey locust or even big black locust thorns. Several years ago I got several gar fish scales from a friend. They were nt as big as the one in the picture. I eventually lost the darts they were on. But hey would kill a cottontail very quickly. I imagine smaller shark teeth would do the same.

+1 sub, awsome channel!

So the native Americans used a wood rasp to help from their arrows. So did they get the wood rasp from?

Thank you! Why was it so hard to find a video like this lmao. Got giant piece of common opal I wanna break open but I’m new to breaking open rocks and these pieces are huge. I want them smaller. But there are really nice piece of opal so I don’t want to damage it all and then there are parts idc about. So I wanna figure out the best way to beat it lol.

Billy, it's good to see you active on UA-cam again. Good job on updating your website, too. I was watching someone on the "Knifeware" channel talking about snapped stone found in Canada and thought of you. This led me back to your channel.

Billy do you plan to do any more fire hardened white wood bow videos? I already have the DVD but it's still cool to get more references.

Thank you from Costa Rica.

I saw your artículo in a magazine, from there i make the arrows in that way....thank you...

What??? Using a compound bow??

That is cool man 😎👍💯🔥🏹

Feeling old now. Watching videos on "primitive skills" and seeing what I was taught as a kid. 😂

I just had a lot of fun demonstrating arrow making and bows at a festival near me. gonna have a booth too at the local fair with other crafters at the end of this month! very fun and exciting to see everyones interest and hear their stories!
