Product Information

A typical Scottish build up ; Sarking boards (fixed to joists),cross batten, breathable membrane, counter batten, and slate roof tiles Feathers were split and cut to size for the three fletchings (c. 85mm long, protruding c. 22mm) and tendon prepared for the bindings, both tasks used sharp flint blades. The tendon was the achilles tendon from a locally hunted elk. It was cut from the hoof using a flint blade and then dried out over several days. Following drying, it was pounded with a smooth stone and a mallet to separate the fibres (c. 20cm long). These were teased out to provide strong bindings for both the arrowhead and the fletchings.

I've 2 friends with Mamba X's and they start cogging like mad after long trail runs in wet conditions. Usually fine for a couple of hours, but eventually the dielectric grease they put on the sensor cable to protect it washes off. The c. 166cm bow stave was then de-barked, removing both inner and outer bark. Several tools were tried for this. The slate wedge and bone chisel were most effective. The slate drawknife was only good for removing the outer bark. Flint blades were too sharp and brittle for the tough surface and didn’t cut deep enough (See Figure 2 for tools).

Early farming in Finland: was there cultivation before the Iron Age (500 BC)?. European Journal of Archaeology, 16(4), pp.660-684.The bow’s draw weight exceeded expectations, 80-85 pounds at 26 inch draw, and was too much for the archer to achieve anything more than a ¾ draw. The arrow flew true, due to its heavy slate tip and fletchings. Initial shooting tests were conducted at 10-15m, but due to the large draw weight, a degree of accuracy was lost. In the right hands, or with a reduction in draw weight, the bow could certainly be lethal and accurate at twice the distances tested, if not more. Although basic, made with Neolithic tools and from suboptimal timber, it was sufficient for target shooting and certainly could have killed. Conclusion

Get your Roof Slate Tiles from Burton Roofing todayThe emergence of the bow and arrow as tools for hunting and warfare in the Upper Palaeolithic is well known (for example Marlowe, 2005; Hoadley, 2015). Evidence of Microlith hafting points towards the appearance of the bow, perhaps as early as 60-70000BP in South Africa (Marlowe, 2005 ; Lombard & Phillips, 2010). It's probably not entirely right, but close enough. Yes, they're proprietary, but that's because nothing else works - not even other HW brushless stuff. While "making money" of course would be a consideration in their decisions, the FOC system actually might be the next "thing". To put it in my clumsy terms, it's less a "sensored" brushless system, than a "field orientation controlled" brushless system. If that makes sense. Finally, the twig technology quote. I like how it over-simplifies what a huge development tools were for us primates. I admit that it doesn't mesh perfectly with the topic, but it was just too funny for me to get out of my head. It's a great little book, but it's really about conservation, not evolution or anthropology.

Despite this, elements of the modern-day manufacturing process were surprisingly simple to adapt to feasible Neolithic alternatives. For example clamping, shaving, sanding, and polishing. Sandy soils and boggy terrain are typical of the area, providing an ample supply of pine and birch. Other trees found locally are alder, various willow species, rowan and aspen. Due to low population density in this area of Finland, reindeer are plentiful; elk have also been sighted in the area, and occasionally European brown bears as well. AXE has much better slow speed control. Even better than the 5 slot motor / 1080 ESC i had before itThe other friend and i were out trailing for about 5 and a half hours yesterday in wet conditions but intermittently he'd get long periods of terrible cogging with the water getting into the sensor connections despite dielectric grease, but even doing some mud bog runs, the axe was flawless. Please remember to always wear PPE when cutting slate as it is an extremely sharp material and can easily splinter. Slate tiles typically come ready cut, in standard sizes. However, if you need smaller pieces to fill in gaps, or to use as end pieces, you will probably need to trim them to size yourself with a tool like a slater’s axe.
