I've got a thing for all-wooden bows. Call it a passion.
Many years have passed sinceI very decidedly andtenaciously made the switch from axle-equipped bows. In a very short while,I cameto see how simple wooden bows, cut directly from standing trees can fill the stew pot just as readily as history books and ancient lore have regaled. Watching a feathered wooden shaft arc on fatal flight from a hand made bow is...simply...an incomprehensible magic. The bows below cost perhaps $20 in materials (dyes, finishes, string, horn, leather, etc.) to make, and will cleanly kill anything in North America. Does a hunter "need" to spend $700 on a bow? I suppose that depends what he's looking for. For me, I unequivocally "need" quite the opposite.
