A real DIY traditional bow

Hand carved. Four foot long arrows. Five foot bow. Bamboo string.
I traded a ball cap for the bow and arrows in 2001 in a remote part of New Guinea. The guy I got it from was a minimalist. He was wearing a gourd and no shoes and no scent control. His foot wear provided stealth. Super tough feet. He knew how to hunt.

I have several arrows. Some for birds to eat, some for pigs, some for humans unfortunately. The multi prong arrows are for birds that we buy in pets stores for several thousand dollars apiece

Curved conical arrows were to allow pigs to bleed out. At least that is what I was told

That’s awesome. One heck of a conversation piece for the coffee table!

Let’s say I hope they don’t use this type anymore

Did you get to watch the folks there hunt or use their equipment? I’d be willing to bet they’re rather proficient
