The Eastern Composite Bow; Grandfather of the Compound.
sailordad:
ive sen him use such things as volleyballs(i think) or something similar
he gets some one to throw them for him from a slight distance
multiple targets shots were all stationary targets
ive seen him put a steel plate on the ground and along the sides of buildings and do richochet shots and pop balloos
he does alot of the same kinda shooting as whats his name with the trad bow BYRON FERGUSON
not quits as good but when he does them you usualy see him take several tries,but he does do what he says he can do
but he realy needs to lay off of all the energy drinks
this guy is wired all the time
personaly i quit watching cause i couldnt take that type of music on a hunting show
i like them a little more sureal
i did like the episode when he was rabit hunting in south dakota i think it was
rabbits every where

Phooeey on compounds...seen a guy do trick shots with a longbow before. Hit friggin' coins and then on to aspirins thrown in the air. It was a video. I think it was something like "Hitting Them Like Howard Hill" or something. Dude was a friend of Hill. Lots of Native bowmen could do trick shots as just routine skill. There are several frontier writers that saw them do it and documented it.

That's interesting Tsalagi, I would be interested in reading some of those excerpts
Tsalagi:
There are a few excerpts about it in a book called "The Lightning Stick" by Henrietta Stockel. That book also has some very fascinating reading about arrow wounds and very graphic descriptions of them, too. The other is an old book from the 1890s; I'll have to get the title later.
zeNBowyer:
That book, fascinating as it is can be viewed (partially) online,
medical personel will find it particularly good reading
