stumbled across y'all, good to find a place to talk to TN traditional hunters. hope everyone had a good year in '07
would be interesting to know some of y'alls set ups, recurve, longbow or selfbows. carbon, aluminum or river cane arrows, and the broad heads.
i just started primitave hunting last year, got tired of all the modern tech. made my bow last winter out of osage, a 66" flatbow at 48 pounds at 29 inches. made most of my arrows from river cane, made a couple from white rose brier shafts. used wing feathers from the turkeys i harvested last spring. use obsidian and flint arrowheads both authentic and ones i knapp out. but i do use a factory string. i use alumunim arrowshafts for small game, they are easier to come by than the cane or brier ones.
i took my first 3 deer, 1 turkey and 1 squirrel last fall and have to say that is the most fun i have ever had in the deer woods.
hope everyone has a great year this year, good luck to all!
