Thanks for posting that! I have never seen it before. That is the coolest thing ever and I will do it too before I die. Although not so primitive...I built a hybrid longbow last year (my first one) and stuffed an elk with it first day out and with a spruce arrow with a Bear Razorhead. Feels pretty awesome but I am sure nothing compared to what that guy is doing! Its not about the fastest bow or the best broadhead on the market...its the placement of that broadhead. Very cool.

Saw that video this winter, good stuff!    :tup:

I've made bows, strings, arrows, but even my obsidian points are too primitive to hunt with.  Need to bust out my knapping tools and get to work on making some better points worthy of shooting at an animal.
