Remains of ancient Chinese hand held crossbow, 2nd century B.C.
Hey, I know to hell with all archery equipment. Lets get real steeped in tradition and make our own spears and loin cloths.
Traditionally this is how it was done for thousands of years until someone invented fiber glass, perfected the lamination process, invented the steel mill, invented the modern textile mill, invented a way to use aluminum and carbon for arrows.
BC, you make me laugh.
Lets see, that bow you show there could not be held under tension very long at all without extreme set or breakage. In fact it probably had sinew horn/wood core Prod. It was a weapon that was ****ed and immediately shot. No sites, no reddot, no laser. Hey, I would make that legal in archery, but that wouldn't be enough for guys like you. You need something thats easier to master. You make me laugh harder.
And here's the freakin punch line. You, yes, you, equate that picture to this. Your a walking punchline.
