Use a crossbow, stun gun, pepper spray, or a dog for self defense in your home. Bows are for hunting/fun.

Compounds are for old men. Real manly men shoot traditional. Something very satisfying about using nothing but a stick and a string. Plus...its like 10x lighter than a compound when you are wandering around the woods!

Not to mention you get a toy and a work of art in one purchase. We have a guy here local who makes amazing bows. Can choose your own woods and inlays etc.

that bow is beautiful. what the stats on it? not many boyers around anymore.

Not sure on that bow. You can get up to 65 lb draw tho so you can hunt just about anything you could with a compound.

I really enjoy archery, never done any hunting but spent quite a bit of time shooting [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. Compound bows aren't as fun to shoot but the shear power is absurd as a ratio to pull weight.

I've only done bird hunting with my bows. Not a big fan of big game hunting as I prefer beef.

But you are right, traditional is much more fun imo

35 lb is overkill if your a good marks woman the native american's didn't have insanely powerful bows. 40 lb probably will satisfy legalities. that being said... i like old fashioned stuff. the new crazy composite stuff was not very satisfying to me
