Why not make a bow instead of just going to the store and buying one?  ???

That's what I'm saying people rely to much on going to the store to buy what ever they want

It's a legitimate question I sappose. Some people always look for the easy way out while others always look to increase the challenge of the hunt. For me I like making and using my own gear and it adds something to my hunts.

Kind of a silly question which ever way it was intended.  Most people know that I have been doing wood work for some time, just focused more on Archery instead of other stuff.
Then again most are not very adept at building or repairing things.

Yep It's a question only an ignorant person would ask I've been asked it by two compound guys and a friend who knows nothing about archery

I haven't been asked but would tell them " I have about a buck fifty in my bow for the string material and arrow rest, tell me again, how much did you pay for your bow?"
