The round-belly hackberry longbow did just fine! Got this doe from the ground. I was kneeling next to a huge fallen oak tree with good cover, and she came by at 15 yards an hour before dark. She was walking slowly and the arrow struck a hair farther back than the ideal, but hit her liver and worked out. Found her 100 yards from the spot.

No complaints from us, but that doe might have one or two!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
