Thank you. Yes they are Texas chert. I live just outside of Georgetown TX so that’s my rock of choice. When you get started knapping, you have to have 2 things…determination and acceptance of failure. In time, the first one will reduce the second one. I’ve been knapping for 25+ years and still blow one up ever so often. Obsidian is nice material. I’m waiting on some Mexican Velvet and Lassen Creek right now.

Here’s a few pics. My quiver, my bow, my arrow rest, my silencers, and my knuckle tension release. Tuning? Which component is adjustable? 😁👴🏻✌🏻

I kind of thought I’d get an answer on this. There actually is a tuning adjustment shown in this pic.
