Any of you folks ever make a bow or arrows? Not the ones that we made when we were all kids, but the real deal.
I'm contemplating buying a bow stave and giving it a shot. My daughter is getting into archery now and has a little recurve, all I've ever used is a compound- but would like to give traditional a try. I've been looking at all the fancy laminated fiberglass longbows and recurves, but I think if I'm going to do it, I'm going to commit fully. I'll probably start with commercial arrows just to take one of the big accuracy variables out of it, but would like to, maybe by the 2013 season, take a deer with things I've made 100% by hand.
