Bucksbouy, when I hit the lottery I'll send you the tickets.  I already have the guideservice that is pumped about primitive archery hunting on his leases.  My plan is to go over with just the arrows made up ahead of time and my bow making tools.  I'd like to spend time in a local village making the bow, shooting it in, then hunting with the locals with it!  Mmmmm, gemsbock backstraps over a bushfire, I can almost taste 'em.

BTW, his latest lease has close to 1200 adult gemsbock on it, he reserves it for archery only because there are dozens of set ups where shots average under 20 yds.  I bet I could hit a 400 lb antelope at that range!  Ok, if I were to pop a Valium or two first to take the edge off the shakes.

I don't get to do much hunting myself .
They all use normal equipment , 45-60 Lb Osage flatbows and 125-140 grain flint tips on their arrows arrows .
By the way have you noticed how much archery is mentioned in the old testament its full of some good historical info!

Buckeye, thanks. Would love to see any pictures. And yes, archery is a common phenomenon in the OT, in both narrative and poetic texts.
