I don' t think there is anything wrong with the idea at all.

Stealthycat has written many posts about using more primitive gear and I find the idea very interesting.

I would want to be able to build my bow to generate the appropriate energy and all that good stuff, but I don't think it would be as hard as you might think...if you get CLOSE for the kill.

It would be a rewarding venture.

Just might get into that recurve stuff myself one day...then who knows, maybe I'll be the next Ishi!
