I like making several kinds with various materials and methods, but selfbows are my favorites to make and use and all I've hunted with for decades. They just require more of me and I feel more connected to them. Especially one of a kind osage and yew selfbows that test me during design and construction and in the end become worthy and trusted hunting bows. My best bamboo backed bows, glass bows and such stay home and wait our return like a beloved dog that is great in so many other ways, but one you just don't care to hunt with.
