Advanced Flintknapping Making Barbed Points!

In this video Jeff shows you how to make stone barbed arrow points. The advantage of barbed points are how lethal they are when hunting with. Once the barbed point enters into an animal's body, it becomes difficult for the animal to move and run far. Due to the impracticality of removing a barbed point from its victim, many tribal people conducted warfare using this projectile point.

I have Justin Garnett’s book on making one of these and this video is incredibly informative and helpful. I will definitely be using it to make mine.
We are back in second place. If you want to see me make this bow using just a knife, take the time to vote! woobox.com/qd2oqw/gallery/by19YwrY8pE?
Beautiful work
Surely you have significant stacking with such a short bow. Please explain.
Felicidades un hermoso arco y todo un legado ancestral
I got you Tex. 👍
Voted man Good Luck
Where are you buying this fo4r $20 or $30?
Could this be found in eastern North America?
Voted. You are somebody who knows what he's doing, and the bow looks amazing.
Very nice bow
I love your video! Your sky is full of Chem-Trails! Are your leaders going to stop this vandalism of our skies? See- "Chemtrails Exposed " By Mr Kirby!....Me 77 Ex Royal Navy LA5 UK
Done, easy peasy. Insane bow man, I bet it's amazing to shoot.
Voted for you
Thank you
Voted with both of my accounts. I feel like my fraud is justified. Edit. It seems you are on second place.

I like the idea of that!
Done, my friend
I appreciate it. Have your friends vote too
I voted. Really awesome bow, man.
Thank you Sir
I just made my first hunting arrow yesterday! I'd made a few before but I gave some away and kept one on my wall. I'm making a birchbark quiver - can't wait to fill it!
Also I'd love to see the hafting and testing video!
My wife's ancestors migrated to Texas while the Comanche were still raiding against the whites. They lived out in the dust of West Texas and lived very hard lives.
I have been enjoying taking care of a bladder pod bush in the garden and the scent of the flowers is very nice. Slightly lemonish with a sweet undertone, not perfume-y like many flowers but pleasant and unique.
Nice info thanks. If you want a measurable boost of energy, take off your shoes and ground your feet. Expose your skin to the sun and remove the sun glasses. Sungazing can provide amazing amounts of energy that can be measured with a typical volt meter. Sunglasses block light and makes your brain think that you are in the shade. Which causes you to burn faster. Remove the glasses and it produces melanin to prevent sun damage. It also stores energy in your cells. You can "eat the sun". We feed on light energy just like food. In fact all the energy we get from food is solar energy stored in its cells. When your skin is pale, your batteries are low. When they are red, they are overfull. Being grounded dissipates the excess energy and prevents burning. Once I consistently began sungazing I lost 1/2 my appetite for food and craved sunshine instead. It's a great knowledge to have coming up to the impending food short ages... or any survival situation. Sungazing while grounded energizes and revitalizes the pineal gland and so much more. When done with intent, it is like downloading knowledge direct from source. And there's a reason the folks on the pyramid walls were receiving the Ankh [key of life] from the sun. There's so much more to it that was not included in our factory installed operating system. bretthouston.com/creations/eat-the-sun/
Sweet. 👍
Fighting and war are ways of life; no provocation is required. The Commanche were excellent at it, lots of practice. Disfigurement, dismemberment, and mutilation of their enemies were acts of hate and revenge. Lots of myths were written to enhance the skill, bravery etc as a means of making the victors look superior by their overcoming a fierce competitor. The Commanche survived in a hostile and brutal environment, a no-nonsense, grounded, and brave people who, for a while, thrived.
Neither one is the perfect tool but if a person was in a pinch I think they would be happy with either.
Why take any off the back at all? It's already continuous.
Because if a single growth ring isnt followed the bow will end up in a landfill.
I unlocked a lot of unique bow techniques from my ancestors in the Americas, utilizing short bows. This style, which I consider akin to guerrilla warfare but at the same time being aggressive and includes a bit of skyrim alchemy potion use, involves a thumb draw technique. These methods were effective in resisting the Spanish invaders and their allies led by Bloody Guzman. They remained unconquered until the 1980s when a Mexican general attack them
It’s Fort Sill, lads, also, Jeff, buddy, Geronimo was never a chief, war shaman for the chiricapeople, that’s the fact jack!!
This bow is more a southern Cheyenne or Apache selfbow. There are perfect examples in Jim Hams book. Even the hopis had a bow almost exact same. Cheers from Alberta
Geronimo was not a chief, he was a medicine man
Fantastic information, fabulous video downside, Its a shame native american tribes aren't teaching us, these skills. A fantastic culture, destroyed.
Excellent craft skills -- thanks for sharing this
Great method I, something to definitely check out.
Hey, i realy enjoyed and learned pretty much about senew backing. From this videos. I made mine out of my first and miserable buildet flat bow. Its sitting since 5 month. I unstringed and wait another 5 weeks before stringing. Thanks a lot for this representation of making✌️👊 peace and fredom
Geronimo be proud.
The only variable here being an actual Cherokee bow is a longbow. It's about as long as they are tall. I assume that would come into play somewhere in some way.
Haft ‘er up and let ‘er fly!!!
as a dakota wearing it as jewelry is pretty sacrilegious to us that’s the blood of our people
I'd like to see a stone point in action. Cheers from Australia
Very nice build. Im a fellow bowyer since a child, im 43 now. I like your natural aim too. Just draw, look at your target and release. No pulling the arrow to the chin bull

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Many thanks.
I was friends with the late Joe Dabill from early 90s up till his passing. I went on group knapp-ins where he instructed. Also paid for private one on one tutorials. I was fortunate to have Joe take me to his secret materials collection spots for chert and jasper and plant materials. He lived in South Monterey Co. and Northern San Luis Obispo Co. in San Miguel, Paso Robles and Atascadero.
thanks so much for sharing this great video on bow making with us!!!!!!!!
Shame how the Gangnam style video has more views than this
