Toying with going back to "High Tech"

[JoeK]

So I had my 13y.o daughter read this thread (her first time reading this forum).  Her response:  "I like these guys".  If a teenager likes you guys, you all must be sick!!

Why stop with a glass or carbon bow?  I know damn well you still got a couple wheelie bows hanging it that basement.  Hell fire.  Get out there and join Team Matthews or somesuch.  No sense halfarsin' it!

If that's not far enough, you know I got a couple slug guns and a scoped, inline muzzleloader you can borrow.

All kidding aside, you know my opinion on this stuff but for those that don't, shoot what makes you happy.  And shoot it a lot.  And kill lots of deer with it all.  Deer meat is good!  I ate my last deer steak about a month ago.  Had beef tonight.  Kids would hardly touch it  

We have a kids doe hunt coming up the end of September.  Both Em and James are hunting this year.  We hope to rectify the lack of venison in the freezer.

You take care bud!

Daggone Mickey, Soon you'll want to mount one of those selfbows cross-ways on an old gunstock!  Ooooooooo!  (Shiver..)  You are to be scorned, scourged, and shunned for the very thought!  Oh wait, that was just my thought...crap.  See, you're corrupting us!  Aahhh!  Monkey signs, monkey signs....  Run away.....

Na Mick, Shoot was you gotta shoot and have fun.  Get a second or ninth opinion and kick this thing soon, brother.

This has been a fun thread but in reality it was started in half jest, for there is no difference between a selfbow, cane arrows and trade points and a glass bow, carbon arrows and the latest mfg broadheads other than the amount of effort it takes to construct the first set.

The hunting/woodmanship skills are the same and no amount of high tech gear is going to make up for a lack of them (valuable words for newbes!), and by applying what skills I have mastered over the years being at 7 or 8 yards from a deer this fall is not going to require any specialized equipment to bring it to bag. 50# is 50# (more or less whether glass or wood) and as long as the arrow flies true from the bow and the end is pointy and sharp, and I can follow a good bloodtrail, we will be feasting on venison again this winter.

The lack of air I am recieving is troubling and tiresome, and could hamper hunting a little bit, but I am confident they will figure it out and I'll be fine soon enough. I do thank y'all for the concerns, the PM's and emails offering gear (been offered some dandy bows from top of the line bowyers from some awfully good friends... and some strangers), well wishes and cures (some of which are pretty wild ha ha) but you can  trust that I'll be in the hardwoods this fall with a well tuned selfbow, cane arrows and flint (where legal) or tradepoints where rock ain't legal...oh and wearing plaid too. A tiger can't change his stripes you know
