A long time ago there were just sticks and stones then man learned to flint knap.
he learned to make knives, spears and stone clubs and Atlatls. and for thousands
of years they served man quite well. today there seems to ba a resurgence in
learning the old ways of ancient weaponry.from flint knapped knivesto long bows and
yes crossbows as well.these weapons put much game on the roasting pit before their
were pots and pans.i have noticed that many not all here have the experience and passion
to build such things and that is great. it will be a learning curve indeed for those who do not
possess the knowledge to make thier own hunting gear. myself i,ve still yet to make a bow.
i own quite a few but that,s not the point i,ve yet to learn to build my own there in lies
the deal. one must learn to do those things . one day probably not in our life times who knows.
that there will be no more bullets at best MABEY black powder who knows. i just think it a good thing
to pass on all the skills we possess in aboriginal weapon making to the younger genorations while
were still able. knowledge in survival is trully priceless.
