It's fun to know stuff about stuff you have fun shooting stuff with.

That was great CD, thanks.

Agreed. Read somewhere that Neanderthals used similar techniques to fix stone points on spears using pitch. They still don't know for sure whether they ever threw them. Didn't know how far back bows went, but Africa pre-diaspora makes sense. Guess that makes shooting stuff uniquely human.

Just discovered a Columbus area bowyer while listening to this and the Bear interview. Longbows and horsebows. Someone remind me again how coveting is bad.

Very interesting, thanks.

Makes me want to try and make my own bow. Seems like a laminated wood is better than a solid piece just for the sake of stability because the last thing you want your bow to do is bow out of shape.
