 When DEATH comes a knocking and looks at you and says; IT'S YOU. Which of your bows would you take with you to the ; Happy hunting ground,Hall of the dead or that place you call the after life??? Give a reason why also. I hope you all live long and happy lifes!!! Thanks for your time. ;D

They could proably take all my bows and use them for a bonfire to toast me with. That would not be disagreeable to me. Steve

I'm gonna borrow my Daddy's hunting gear. He's got a place prepared for me so I can only assume he's got the bows and arrows necessary to outfit a fine camp! ;D

I'd probably go haunt Marius and steel my "2 deer bow" back... ;D

No, I'd say the last bow I made which is hhb...that sucker shoots! ;)

Badger's got the right idea!  I'd throw in all my arras, feathers, unfinished staves, shoots, and other misc stuff and have a big ole' fire!!  >:D ;D >:D

As far as which bow I'd have in my hand.....probably have to make one special......out of cherry with the bark on (that's the wood I used for my first serious bow when I was a kid).

well when i go i plan on leaving any selfbows i have at the time to my sons to hunt with and i'll take my wheelie bow with me
only cause all those damn contraptions deserve to be burned(like i plan) or buried  8)  . i'm coming back as a mountain lion so wont really need stick and string any more.
only real bows should be left to our loved ones to use and appreciate. :)
i always wanted a harley,untill it became the "thing to ride"
i ride because i love to,not to be part of the crowd

If you guys are all coming back as Cougars, I should probably rethink my idea of shooting one someday...   >:D 

I think I'd like to wear brain tanned skins, throw some primitive archery gear in the grave and get buried without a casket just to mess with some future archeologist.  Maybe each of the knappers in the group can donate a box of flakes to throw in the hole?   8)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that messing with archeologists would be fun ;D

I'd be taking a yew self warbow. In my next life, I'm going to be a freeman archer in the army of King Edward III during the Crecy campaign of the 100 Years War. Anybody want to come along?
