Traditional archery sales talk, in this case mostly classic "D "style longbows, is kind of a nice antidote to the overdense, underwhelming and heavily taxing IT prose. I would recommend browsing some of the following sites after a long session of shopping for anything powered by transformers, batteries, or gasoline.

It's also interesting to realize that making something as incredibly ancient and simple as a longbow is a subtle and technically involved craft. I genuinely appreciate being humbled by two sticks and a string.
