I've been looking for Ash and juniper but I haven't been able to find any in my area :-/

The Scittsbroom isn't very dense but it BERY elastic, especially after it's dried for a while

Cascara and Indian Plum haven't been mentioned and both make bows; the plum better than the cascara. I wouldn't trust big leaf maple... Volume #1 of the Bowyers Bible is the one to get if you can only get one.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.
