RE: The way the indians did it - Bowhunting
My current hunting bow is and Osage selfbow. My arrows are river cane with obsidian heads and turkey feathers.
All of it made by me even my string, back quiver, and obsidian heads. No sights no rest. I shoot off my hand.
Its a blast and so simple.
Try it I think you'll like it. It doesn't mean you have to give up compounds but be carefull its is adictive.
