Harvest a deer with stone point help?

[Tnmountains]

Hello knappers
I was talking with thirty7 about an idea I had. I would like to harvest a deer this season with my compound bow and use a stone point. OK why a compound and not traditional. First my skill level is very good with a compound and poor with traditional. Second I want to insure the correct fps and kinetic energy to get a dbl lung shot for a quick kill. Third I feel and this is the hard part I want to use a carbon arrow to handle the speed of the bow.
Sounds impossible.It might be but that's why I am here.
I am not worried about the union between the two being primitive.My goal is to study the cut penetration and hopefully impact fracture.
So what type point? Maybe a disputed type. A common found south eastern snapped stem. This would give the strength of the shaft pushing the point. Thirty7 suggested taking the animal at around 20 feet.I think this is smart due to the fletchings usually having a right helical twist. And I do not want to have a warble.
What do you guys suggest. Any knappers think this is plausible to marry the the point to shaft?
I will happily pay for the point or can dig one out of a frame but think i need say a fresh hard material (sharp).
Yay or Nay?
I have some wooden shafts but they are to short for my draw length.Hmmmmm
Thanks everyone

Not had a close enough shot yet. Saw about 18 Sunday but they came in from above me to eye level.To many eyes they busted me. Here is one off the trail cam. Its a ten still in velvet. Hopefully he will survive and breed another year or two.

Ok Guys and Gals
It looks like I have failed with a stone point. I had six come in and could take the last one as they went by. I drew on it but it was a yearling so I passed. I will be muzzleloading for two weeks and then will have a few more days of Bow. If I fill my freezers I may attempt it again later in the season.
Had high hopes and some great help and support. Thats hunting though. Thanks to all for the support and help Thirty7 especially.

That's the way it goes sometimes, good luck in the second leg of bow season.

Killed a fat doe today with some of my doe tags.There are some many nuts this year they get up and eat and lay back down. lol Bow opens again in a week I think. I will have to look. Anybody else out there doing any good?

TNmountains,

I killed a doe, Thanksgiving morning with one of my Knapped Flint points and home made arrow. Shot 15 yards, with a 55lb Recurve Bow, out of a tree. PM me your email and I'll send you a better discription and pictures if you want.

Best Regards,

Hey guys, here are some of my hunting arrows and stone points. Also my hand sewn deerskin quiver. They ALL shoot well. A great combination, 62 pound Osage longbow, river cane shafts and Brazilian agate points around 170 grains. Enjoy, Stan Payne

Sorry, still learning on here. Here is the rest. Stan Payne

Very impressive,wormansship.I have built both bows and arrows,quite an undertaking!Those are deadly and beutiful!!I would like to give those a try on an elk

 

[stansknives]

Thanks kuger, the arrows took 3 weeks to make. I cut the cane and straightened it myself. I sewed the quiver in 2 nights. Stan

Stansknives,

I love those stone points. (and I'm a flintknapper) Beautiful work on the finely serrated edges and parallel flaking.

very fine work, thanks for posting.

Best Regards,

Stan Great pictures of your equiptment. I did not so well but some other members did. I have harvested some deer this year just was not meant to be with the bow. The osage orange bow did you make it? You have the ultimate primitive gear and in Ala its a deer a day for months
Best of luck in your journeys.

Thanks for the comments TnMountains. No, I did not make my bows, I traded my stone knives for them. I will send pics today. Here is a pic of a knife I made. Also, you can see lots of my work on my website www.flintstoneandbonecreations.com Stan Payne

 

[kuger]

Stunning!!I think I own one of your pieces.

 

[stansknives]

You may, what is your name? You can e mail me privately. There are to date 172 scattered across America and England and I am working on more as we speak! Stan Payne
