Thought I would post this pic that I took at a vineyard near Stellenbosch in South Africa. The guy who owned it had some cracking heads on the wall but this one impressed me as he shot it with a bow!...rather him than me
American archer Howard Hill (as well as Fred Bear, decades later) killed elephant with a bow. In Hill's case it was a long bow. I have a Howard Hill Long Bow and it still shoots great after decades of use. It requires almost 100 pounds pull weight at 28" draw. (If you use whimpy arrows the string will split them in half on release.) No cams and pulleys on this model. You needed to draw and shoot instinctively. Those early boys had balls of steel... and shoulders to match!~Muir
