Anybody here hunt at all? Seasons just starting. Was going bow hunting due to my felony i cant hunt with a firearm. Today I did some target practice in the cold ass rain. Got some good shots in, the last of which my last arrow disappeared. I mostly hunt white tail, tried rabbit hunting once but they are just so cute i cant bring myself to let go of the string.

The bow i use is an old indian compound that my fiances dad donated to me. No sight, no rest, just a basic bow. I've become so used to it that i dont think i could use a newer compound to save my life. Also in the process of learning how to make recurves. Its an interesting and rewarding hobby that lets you use much more of the animal being hunted than just the food part. Deer hide for covering of the recurve and decoration purposes and the tendants to use in conjunction with glue and hot water to make the wood stronger, less chance of breaking during use. The mixture has been said to be stronger than steel. A lot of the old timers around use it on their own personal bows. Also makes it worth a lot more because its more work put into it and a lot more time.
