I am not a member of facebook. It wont let me see it.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intentions of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW WHAT A RIDE!!

Howdy Group,

The guy in the video talked about his hunting using equipment he built.  But, later in the video, he is shown hunting with an FG laminated recurve, and (I thing) an FG lam. long bow.

So, he sure does try to put on a good front, but he doesn't deliver.

Fella makes a very relevant point to everyone, however, he was using metal tools (files and a draw knife) to make that self bow, that in itself ruins the "purity" of what he set out to achieve, not my cup of tea I'm afraid. If you want to see something a bit more pure than that i highly recommend you watch this video:

Ok now I see what you mean. My wife logged me in on her facebook so I could watch the video.  I thought Stacey's comments were dead on.
