You need to set the poll up to accept multiple answers. I do all of 'em except flint. Plus I make and shoot my own midieval crossbow replicas.

Our native Americans used to start fires to drive game to awaiting watchers or shoot off horse back on the run, I'd be called unethical to do the same thing.

I'd like to see "gramps" shoot off a horse on the run.

That'd be quite entertaining... you might need some arthritis meds in the morning

My first longbow you had to shoot off your knuckles and even as a kid I could not figure out why there was not something for the arrow to ride on. Why anyone would do it today is beyond me! Kind of like cutting your forearm with your pocket knife on purpose ever time you pull it out of your pocket

I had to vote Compound with sights.... I'm hoping to change that vote to the Longbow, because this season as I'm goin Traditional!!

Good luck there Joe B!! I have a feeling you will be getting it done big time this year, your excited and that is awesome!! My 1st year I was nervous has heck with my recurve, my 1st animal was a 160lb bear I shot in northern Mn. After that 1st one my nerves settled down some but they still are nuts yet, thats the joy of it.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Steve! I can't seem to put my longbow down, all I want to do is shoot, shoot, shoot! Too much fun, look at the target, concentrate and put the arrow where I'm looking! I love it!
