The only thing better was our friends father did somthing extrordinary. He cut down a tree one day for firewood and there was a limb he saw perfect to make a bow with. So he did. Got harder woods for the arrows. He kept the wing feathers on a spring turkey for the fletchings and for the bowstring he was also a trapper and used tanned buckskin for the bowstring. He started collecting flints and made his own arrowsheads. He even killed a timber rattler and skinned it and wrapped the bow in it and hot seared it to it for decoration. He had his bow ready and on opening morning about 30 years ago he killed a 6 pt buck. Standing where his sons house now is. He now has 10+ homemade longbows and even some heads he found that indians made. Amazing if you ask me.
