That's nice, but Indian would have shot a compound instead of a stick bow

I am always love "it's harder" argument like the indians. They need to feed their familes, they would have a Bowtech with Carbon arrows and a rage in a heartbeat over stick and stone.

I have no desire to shoot bows from 500 years ago. I suggest if you like the indian ways, try living it. Now that would be truly hard Something to write about
I agree 100%. Plus, I have about as much talent with trad equipment as a monkey does with advanced thermodynamics.

I love Native American history and have educated myself quite in depth on the tribes, customs, and history of the Ohio River Valley in particular. One thing I learned really quickly is that as soon as the Indians could trade for a good musket, they did.

That is awesome that you did that though. Much respect. Just not my cup of tea is all.
