Yeah. Cool stuff. Even a lot of today’s traditional archers shy away from footed shafts. I guess cedar is cheap, and sufficient to the purpose. I forget what Otzi’s specific load-out was, but I believe he had extra leading-end components. That would allow him to salvage the rear parr of a shaft and “reload” it, if the head was damaged, or remained stuck in a critter.

There must have been some armorers working in centers of trade.

Condor makes an homage to Otzi’s knife....

What is that fiber basket next to the arrow? Did they have protective covers on each arrow?
