Primitive Technology - Bow and arrows

I saw this guy a while back making videos about primitive tools and huts but he never speaks. He lives in Far North Queensland and is getting super popular on Youtube. Recently he made a video about primitive bows and arrows. It's a great watch for anyone who's interested in selfbows or just how it ...

Re: Rotator Cuff injuries and archery.

Couldn't do this with a torn rotator cuff but it may be something to help later on down the track with rehabi...

Even though both are from the same family, they are at the same time different. I do agree with you about the fact...
