Narrative:
After preflting an small aircraft for a flight to the practice area for some instruction, we departed bowman to the north. We climbed to 2500 MSL, once clear of standiford's arsa. We did some clearing turns, medium bank turns, power off stalls. Approach to landing stalls. The carburetor heat was on at all times during the maneuvers, except after the stall recovery. After a standard stall recovery we noticed that the engine had a noticeable vibration and was only producing 1500-1600 RPM. It seemed like it was a stuck valve. We went through the checklist. I tried to radio bowman on 119.5 and emergency on 121.50, no one responded. Picked a field and made a landing into the wind with full flaps. There were no injuries to the student or I. The aircraft propeller and right wingtip were slightly damaged.
