Hunting deer with a bow must be the closest thing to ancestral hunting you can get, I would imagine there is a high level of skill required to do this, I wonder also if we Brits have lost some of those skills over the years that our hunters used to posses or are they still used but adapted to different methods hmmm?

Sure is buddy! I personally liken crossbows to rifles, it's the true bows that are difficult to shoot. Bowhunting is a very difficult pursuit and one that can finely hone a hunters senses. At yards a rifle man takes the shot, at yards the bowhunter begins the stalk.

To make things even harder, take away the sights and the wheels and release aids and you're left with a stick bow and only pure instinct to shoot with. Now THATS hard! I never could shoot instinctively as i have the wrong dominant eye for a right hander,

Bowhunting is illegal in the UK due to the silly divis with crossbows shooting everything they're not meant to. Sadly...JD
