Starting knapping in middle school and picked it back up recently and figured Id make a goal of making arrows and my own bow to hunt with. Points are anything from obsidian, chert/flint, or glass. I used cane/bamboo for shafts, deer sinew for the bindings, turkey feathers and will weatherproof the bindings with pine pitch glue as soon as I get some made.
And by no means am i a pro, Id scarcely consider myself proficient. Go through a lot of material, broken pieces etc just to get a few. More skill to get thinner and bigger pieces take a long time to master but its fun to mess with when Im bored.
