I was watching a show one time and the guy had his traditional recurve with homemade flint and the whole works, but he was hunting during rifle season and had his rifle with him to. Needless to say he had a good buck at 20 yds and it saw his movement and buggered out of there, so he just set the bow down and dropped him at around 150 yds I thought it was very interesting. Just thought I would share that.
