I've been waiting for the time to try one of these monsters....late Jan it all came together. I owned two(now one ) buffalo bulls to put in the freezer. I decided to use my Dwyer Defiant longbow and a stone pointed arra. The bulls were in a large rough pasture and NOT tame or approachable. I made a 300 yard stalk and came up below the crest of a drop off to within 30 yards of them. They started walking my way and at 15 yards I launched a hickory shafted arra with a self knapped Texas point..... I hit him thru the left shoulder into the lungs, he wheeled and ran back to the right. I launched a second hickory shaft with a Coastal Plains Dalton style point attached, hitting the running bull a wee bit back...point broke on a big rib and penetrated only six inches. But the first arra had done the deed, the eight year old, 2000#, bull went maybe 250 yards and down..... Thats my grandson Dylan, along to help drag the bull out to the truck He will tell you he is now a Buffalo hunter..... one of THREE freezers holding buffalo meat...prolly 600 pounds of all cuts. hide drying with salt , to be tanned. Prolly 75-80 sq. feet. I'm going to go eat one of those buffalo burgers right now..... troy

WTG Troy I took some pics of some buffalo Sunday on the way home from work.

RCHRR, I've found that the stone points do better than the steel points IF they are made of good raw stone and hold together. They are very sharp.

Troy, just so you know. This post made it into classroom lectures across the world. Ofcourse, there has been some criticism about using a Dalton atlatl dart point on an arrow. A lot of folks called me a bold faced idiot when I told them that you could kill a deer with those little points we have been working on ... I showed them this post. They shut up.

thanks Skinny I just happen to like Daltons so I made one up to shoot on an arra, full knowing they were NOT shot on arras I've seen a deer killed with a field point(accident) thru the lungs...no cutting edge at all. The world is full of narrow minded idiots...... troy
