RE: How many of you would like to do this
I'm getting closer. I went to a longbow 2 years ago, shooting instinctive. I don't use an ATV, a GPS, scent lock clothings etc etc. I do use carbon arrows, modern broadheads - things like that because the way I shoot I need every advantage I can get !!
Truly getting to the roots would be making your own self bows, arrows and trade points (or flint knap) and go kill a deer on the ground with it. THAT would be ultra rewarding.
Do it Zak. Buy a longbow or recurve or learn to make your own self bow - fun fun !
