Thank you everyone I agree... so similar to our Native Americans...they do not use stone tips on there arrows all Black palm wood. When I told them our natives used stone on thier arrows they laughed...and said stone will not fly!!!

Very nice , love the original hafting! Likely that the North american tribes used similar hafting principles.
