Friends have returned from Colorado bearing gifts from foreign shores. This is from somewhere around New Mexico/Texas. The arrow head has been manufactured in exactly the same way as the original would have been made thousands of years ago. Flint Knapping Tied to a length of wood, adorned with feathers it would have made a formidable weapon against a deer. Especially if the user was to invest in a bow as well.
