  2. Usually one of the first lessons is to not rest your bow or you arrow tips on the ground, for fear of damaging them.

  3. Like to try one of those genuine Mongol made bows. They look highly effective. Bought a hand made take down from a local maker, its only 55lbs, but it takes deer as good as any modern wheel bow, just have to be pretty close in comparison, got a few dozen cedar arrows which came with the bow, have to run 100 grain shafts, been running simple 2 blade solids, now those arrow heads are excellent killers.

  4. They tried teaching the kid falconry too, but at his age, the hawk kept carrying him away...
