I hunt with a custom longbow. I have another being built now. Mine are reflex/deflex design.
I have a couple of recurves.
Been shooting compounds hunting/3D since 1985.
The stick bows just make it much more interesting for me. It becomes a really up close and personal experience.
Go to Amazon and order a Black Hunter. Get some arrows, an arm guard and a leather tab and get to shooting. It took me about 4 months of shooting every day until I got proficient enough to hunt with my longbow.
I killed my first deer with a longbow, a mature doe, at 25 yards on opening day last year.
