Hi I’m a prepper from way back (45 years) I was instrested in outdoor living in high school the military in Nom tought me a lot I keep serching for info. Once help teach a survial school. I worked at a sporting goods company for a while selling Guns. Thought about the limitations of any gun. supply of amno loudness. I went into archery bigtime first compounds opended a shop a tought. But I then started looking at this type of bows limitations. One couldn’t repair in the field and heavy. I then started looking at others I made longbows for a while and realized that this was just a bent stick and string. My thoughts are If one cna’t get with in 20 yd of and animal they are not hunting just walking in the woods. Plus If you have to shot a person it will kill quiet and get your arrow back. I’m 81 with a heart condition so I limit my movememts at this point I have 2 months supply of food 6 different bows over 300 arrows 3 swards and at least 100 different knifes in my home gates have alomes 2 smale dogs and $10,000 dollars stached If are nation goes the way I think banks will be the first to close and cash will be king I carriy a bow 12 hunting arrows and 2 large knifes in my car as well as 2 on my person
