My dad built long bows so did his father so I picked up a bit from him and I had half ownership in a archery shop when compounds were first put on the market and I pick up a bit from the schools I went to to work on them.
I built and shot crossbows when you could not buy a good one and it truly amazes me that some are made in this technically advanced time with out wide enough slots to put a helical fletch on them. One of the reasons I picked a 10 point was because I did not have to mill out the slot to put enough helical onfor broad heads. Lee
