The Eastern Composite Bow; Grandfather of the Compound.
Kegan:
Perosnally, I'd never throw rocks at someone who uses a compound, especially if they also shoot sticks. Ethical hunting it ethical hunting, and so long as it isn't in the bow/hunting forums, I see no issue. Of course, I make my poor selfbows shoot evil arrow shafting too ;D
But I think we can all agree: props to a good shot, even more props if their gear is also trad/primitive, right?
So I'll take it upon myself to be the next longbow trick shot (if i can)... with a selfbow!
Anybody willing to hold an apple on their head so I can practice >:D?

My son had never hunted with a training wheel bow before he said dad you cant judge one against the other unless you try them both. So I said son if thats the way you feel go grab the bear off the wall and try it just take Osage rose along with us just in case. Well we went to the woods and he took the compound with him we got into the woods and he said man these things are heavy. Then a little farther into the timber he said dad its like the woods are hissing at me. A rabbit came running across the trail up came the compound he grunted and pulled then lowered the bow and said man you cant snap shoot these either. He said hold on a minute dad I will be back and he took off through the woods When he returned he was carrying Osage rose the bow he made,and nothing was said. Yep I think my boy is going to be alright.
