Default RE: The way the indians did it - Bowhunting

But the amount of time/effort and skill to be able to hitthat mark 10 of 10 with stick & string compared to modern compound is WORLDS apart. Even to those very familiar with bows all thier lives.
Just to add, it is also worlds aparttocomparea true primitive arrow with a flint knapped head to what most understand as traditional. Compare this primitive arrowto even a POC turned on a lathe withweightand deflection measured with a digital scale, fitted and glued (with modern type glues) with what most would call a traditional head such as a Zwickey, and feathers precision chopped glued to the shaft. etc.

What I am saying is the the Indians (among others)where in a whole different classthen whatwe even consider traditional.

We could also get into nock, string material, backings, etc.
