Bow Hunting question ( Bows )?

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009
Flaocala asked:

I’ve bow hunted for many years and have an older Browning bow that now requires cables. ( steel ) All the places I call say they can’t be made and need to buy a new bow. My question is; you guys out there that hunt deer with bow, what bows are being used and why? Single cam or double? I stopped at a couple of places and was shocked by how much they have gone up. Please give your thoughts on that also. Thanks for the response.
I thank everyone for their support and ideas as to cables. I’ve check with Ganader Mountain, Bass, and even the Bear factory in Gainesville, along with several local pro shops. None can do it. I found one in Tampa that might be able to. Part of my question is what bows are out there, that make for a good hunting bow, and why? Thanks again for the feed back.

Bow History

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

The mention of the bow and arrow or archery was first mentioned in literature, or more aptly, cave drawings. The first traces of the bow and arrow as weapons in place of the spear is found in the dark sands of Africa, dating 25,000 years ago. It could, however, been more than 50,000 years ago that they were used. Arrowheads made of stone have recently been excavated in Africa giving hope to this theory. No bows really survive from this far back, in spite of such findings. The reason: these were made often of wood and animal skins, pelts and guts.
