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'm not following you at all. It was harder. Are trying to say that it was easier? Or just as easy? They did need to feed their families and were sucessful at it.
The Native Americans are very rich in their traditions, and believe there is a spirit to their bow. It was once alive in the forest and continues.
I am saying is sitting bull had a choice to use a stick and string, or a Bowtech what would he use?
He would use what was easier, like you or I would if hunting was the means we fed our families.
I don't understand is the Indian refernce. Stick and string is all they had, it was not their choice. To me there spirit was more with the land and animals, not the bow.
Is a tradition bow harder to shoot, yes indeed, and I suck at it[8D] I just don't agree with the playing the Native American card to speak. They did not use traditional because they wanted to, they had to.
The romance is in the hunt IMO, not what one shoots.
