Soquili's work

[BillinOregon]

Soquili: I have a lot of fun with atlatls too. I make them out of yew, aspen and hazel. I make my darts out of either hazel or red osier dogwood, as both grow abundantly in the mountains of Southern Oregon. I have knapped some red obsidian points for a couple of my darts, and hope to skewer some rabbits one of these days.

On building my own rifle, I don't know...maybe I'll stick to beads, at least they don't blow up on ya if you make a mistake!!!

Soquili,
After seeing the beautiful work you do, I have no doubt, that if you decided you wanted to build your own rifle, you would do an awesome job of it, and just think of the carving YOU could do on it

I just started shooting a couple of years ago (blackpowder) I love it.. could spend hours on the trail shooting and am just now getting to know to my new rifle...

Thank you for sharing the pictures of your work, and I also enjoyed seeing a couple of your outfits...

I like them too, although I wouldn't call myself any good at it! ::

I've made some out of bois d'arc (a recycled broken bow ) and cedar and oak, and I have one of Bob Berg's hickory ones too. I've made darts out of cane and hardwood dowels. I use mostly blunt target points on them, but have used some flint ones - I just hate to break those so I don't use them very often.
