Here's a short video of a successful rabbit hunt using a primitive bow and arrow. Weapon: Osage orange self bow, 52 lbs at 30 inches, and a river cane arrow tipped with a small flint point, all handmade by yours truly. For those who believe a primitive bow and arrow is ineffective and inaccurate, this video shows what a skilled archer who makes his own equipment is capable of. This rabbit was eaten and was not wasted, for those who want to criticize this video. Enjoy...and shoot straight!

$Hunting with Stone Points is Valuable Archaeology https://primitivepathways.com Billy Berger shows how using stone points for hunting helped him discover clues that revealed how prehistoric artifacts were used. When a stone point is thrown or shot at game, sometimes it will break in a very distinctive way. These breaks, called impact fractures, reveal that the point impacted a hard object at high speed, fracturing the tip and removing chips and flakes that indicate that point was used in the hunt. This video will show you how to identify these breaks in your own artifact collection.$
