You may have noticed that there is a healthy trend of youth who are interested in archery. I guess this may come from movies of late that feature kids using bows for hunting and protection. I remember when I was young being mesmerized by recurve bows and learning to shoot, then hunt.

Now that we have a whole new generation interested in archery and an older generation with archery experience, it just follows that many will want to pursue primitive archery and all it offers. There are lots of articles, videos and suppliers which will give lots of info on making your own longbow, recurve, or shortbow.
Many already love to make their own arrows from natural plants, and arrowheads from salvaged glass, metal and stone. Hunting or target shooting with archery you have made yourself is so satisfying, and I predict there will be a good following of people, both young and old who will do it.
