I grew up using a compound bow, so I'm pretty spoiled.
Today I was gifted with two bows.
First, a longbow made in 1910 by the grandfather of my dad's childhood best friend (whom they are still friends today). The shaft is cracked, so it can't be used. This thing is taller than I am! The ends are made with polished deer antlers.
The other bow is a recurve owned by Fred Bear, given to my dad's friend in the 70s after a deer hunt in Nebraska. I've never shot a recurve before and this one needs a new string before it can be used.
It also has a serial number to prove it.
