Full original description
Two crafted arrows by the hunter himself. One of them carries painted feathers and iron tip tied with fine cane or vegetable fiber. The other is guided by pens of poultry and without tip, the wood has been sharpened so that its tube or astile enters with ease in the piece. This tube has been made from a thicket or thorny bush, so that when penetrating the arrow causes further destruction to the animal. This arrow is intended for hunting small antelopesw or skinned animals not too hard for the wooden tip to penetrate easily. These arrows were used by the tracker you subscribe to.
