    Resource Help for Building a Coumpound Bow

    My oldest son has picked up deer hunting the past couple of years, and I've given some thought to making a compound bow for him that's suitable for hunting. Have any of you made one, know someone who's made one, have plans, ideas, websites, or general comments about it? I don't hunt, and have never used one, so I have no idea what the critical details might be. I do plan to check with a friend who's a serious hunter....

    I would presume the wood is one of the critical items, it has to be a strong springy wood that does not dry out and lose it's properties.

    If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
