Bow hunting has the Legacy. It is an original way to put food on the table, only predated by throwing a spear or chunking a rock. It has been around much longer than the modern gun, and the encounters have to be much more up close and personal. Way back when, the animal being hunted had to be close enough that it actually made the game more dangerous, because being that close gave it a chance to fight back. The bows were hand hewn from sticks, the strings were gut, the arrows were hardly straight ( never pass a spin test ) , and the Broadheads were flint or rock. Early man used his ability to think to put it all together , to make the first bow so he could have a way to get out of the cave on the weekend. Thus began a tradition.
