Do you feel that the easiest bow to make is a longbow(made from sapling) is the easiest bow to build for a novice?
Second question,
Do you think that this would be an effective weapon for hunting a bear(large bear, but not grizzley big)
And third
this one is for the true hunters... Is it more effective if you used a wide, serrated broadhead on a mammoth arrow and shoot for its neck, a nice clean side shot im talking.
I really need to know these answers because me and a friend are going to be backpacking and worked out a camp security technique using only bows and a primitive mases we will make. this is sort of a test if you know what i mean, not going with any food but just a canteen and a knife, we want to hunt and fish for food just for a week or 2 just to test our wits! but if I could bring a bow that I made with some different arrows it would help a real lot! don't worry im a good shot with my recurve and compound bow but if the longbow is the easiest to build for a novice i will build a few at a time if this will help me on this journey
However I am completely dedicated to learning how to build a proper longbow before hand! and love all the great build-a-longs! thanks to all the skilled archers and bowyers out there.
Viel Dank! (many thanks!)
