Mack The Knife,
I plan to visit an Indian reservation at Pyramid lake(Nevada) on a fishing trip soon. Hear they sell authentic/working bows and arrows with Flint heads. The bows are made as they made them centuries ago, with authentic materials. If they are cheap(hear they sell for less than 50 bucks for B/A), will buy a bow and a few arrows to try out. Will post pictures for everybody, should I get the bow/arrows.
Should be a nice decorator for my living room too.
