Hunting and shooting with the English longbow

<< < (3/5) > >>

Cromm:
Hi,
I've used a ELB to hunt and have had no worries with it doing the job, I think it is just what you are use too or willing to work at....I have friends who would never use a wood bow to hunt with, as they are not as good as FG bows in their mind, and other friends who cannot use a bow that hasn't a shelf to sit the arrow on......Maybe it's because I am bless to be British that I have a love for the bow.......
Thanks for your time.

Fitzcarraldo:
Sounds like a lot of positive response.  I hope to try my hand at building one shortly.  I've been reading and researching a lot, so hopefully the first failure won't be too catastrophic (I've never made a bow before, but I'm not that interested in building an American longbow – I already have one or two anyway, but I have never owned an ELB).

Thanks for the help so far!

Kegan:
Worked for the forefather's of American archery, should work for you too ;)

Hillbilly:
You just have to wear a necktie and tweed jacket while you're hunting, though....;D

It will certainly give you the woods to yourself. What camo-clad compounder would beleive there are still deer in the woods when they see a guy in a suit and tie walking through the place with a wooden bow?

Geeze, that guy MUST have already scared the deer away ;)!
