Arrow/broadhead building
« on: April 16, 2009, 01:37:34 PM »
Ok so I know that I'm in the right place when I ask this question.  My goal is to take the ash stave I've cut off my land build a bow and put a few arrows together and kill a bear.  Yes I know muzzy works well, but where can I find stone broadheads?  I plan on building my arrows out of ash and turkey quill fletching.  I'm all ears and would appreciate any and all help.......

At StickBow.com, or TradGang.com, you can raise knappers by posting this question.  There are several who will knapp you broadheads once they know about what weight you want to wind up with.  If you contact, through a google search, the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters, and ask on their forum about Norm Blaker, probably one of the best in the buisness, someone will know how to contact him as well.

Best of luck, Arch

Make sure stone points are leagle in your state.  I've seen Norm Blaker do his work.  Tooks a workshop with him in 1999.  Was wondering if he still works stone and even if he was still alive.  The man had a photo book and tales to tell that were great!  Ever see one of his blackpowder rifles??

Yes, I have seen and handled one of his black powder rifles.  He's an artist I can only dream of being.  MJH: now that you mentioned whether or not he's still living, I guess I really don't know for sure.  I am one of the old f#@ts that started the Michigan Traditional Bowhunters organization many years ago, and was active around MI with them and shooting at many, many different clubs.  I used to run into Norm often, but it has been awhile now that I think about it.  If he's gone on, I know there will be a pile of chips around a big campfire some where!!   ;)
