The call of the primitive lifestyle is strong and alluring. But it's not to be answered lightly. The Native Arrows and Points DVD gives you the guidance and instruction you need to set out on the ancient, and well-worn path of primitive arrow building. Primitive skills expert, Thad Beckum, takes you step by step through the process of building an accurate and deadly primitive North American arrow.

You'll also learn about flint points, organic points, hardwood shafts, and more. Thad even shows you how to determine a primitive arrow's spine to match to your bow!
