It's too bad huh. The second shot you really get an idea of how well it flies. And how hard it hits for that matter.

Here's another one by our own Whip Artist. They fly very well. Almost the perfect rabbit hunting weapon, especially in the more open country out west in America. No wonder the American Indians used them so much.

I have a length of caribou antler main beam that someone gave me for knife handles. It's a just little short of a meter long. It was actually too large for a comfortable grip for a a knife so I ended up splitting it lengthwise with a hand saw. It made two rabbit sticks, one really good and one so so. And so far, it seems to be almost indestructable. Unless you hit a T metal fence post, that knocked a small chip out of it. Sad
