Rich,
Been friends with you a long time now, we have gifted bows, knives, sinew, staves and the list goes on between us and hope it continues...Through talking on the phone and sharing thoughts and ideas with you over the years, I understand perfectly where you are coming from...I guess it is how one would define Primitive Archer or primitive bows...For "me" it is using all natural products, trying to make a bow you might see if you could walk back in time 200 years ago into a Native American camp or maybe a European clan of some sort...It's kind of romantic for me...I started out with compound bows then started making glass bows through bingham projects and killed many deer with these bows, but something was missing for me...As a young kid I made bows, bent hickory I would split in half after cracking the limb and river cane shafts...I always wanted to make a bow out of all natural material and take a deer or some critter with it...Well as you know my friend, I accomplished this in 2015 with Osage and Chert points... (SH) :-D
Like said, it is how one would define Primitive Archery..."I don't know if it can be defined"...My state of South Carolina says in-line black powder and the latest high tech compound bows are primitive weapons for primitive hunt seasons...
I must admit I have also held back on posting some bows also that only my family and friends like you have seen through emails...I am now in the middle of an Ocean Spray sinew backed bendy which you know about and will think about trying to post it up...

+3 guy's, guess I'll jump on the ban wagon myself and agree that the Native Americans, Europeans and others also had a lot of diversity in their primitive bows... ;)

I thought I would chim in and say if it wasn’t for Rich I would’ve never made a bendy handle bow or wouldn’t have been lucky enough to have 3 half eye bows. I would like to see more bendy handle, native bows posted. I also like all those critter sets. The last one is in my basement holding a Half eye bow and all my trade arrows I’ve recieved.
