Anybody ever thought about a cap/cover of some kind for one end of a long bow??? I'm sure that an unstrung LB in the 70-80 lb range would make a pretty fair staff, and you'd have the option of stringing it if you needed to "reach out and touch" a squirrel or two for the stew pot. While you could get by with less poundage for small game, I wouldn't dream of swatting a growling hound with my 50 pounder, and I'd hate to think what would happen to it if I tried to recover from a fall with it, but a good 80 pounder might be up to the job. Any archers out there with more knowledge/experience than me got any ideas???
