My longbow has fiberglass, phenolic, and sports a string made from one of the strongest man-madefibers available. My broadheads are produced by a machine, as my glove is sewn by a machine. My shafting is wood, but the dowels are turned by a machine. My feathers are real, but dyed most of the time, and die cut. Even my selfbow has a Dynaflight '97 string on it.

Tradtional? What's that? I'm a modern archer!

Seriously, if someone wants to hunt with natural shafting, knapped broadheads, a sinew string, a bow they gnawed out of a tree with their teeth, and wear a loincloth made from a fox squirrel that they ran down and choked to death with their bare hands, more power to them. I like my modern equipment (although I am enjoying that selfbow quite a bit).
