one day il need to repair one or make another. if im in the middle of nowhere it would be hard to do without knowing where to start.
I imagine if you don't get the right wood your wasting your time and efforts as it wouldn't last long or wouldn't shoot far.
I can still build a modern thing for fun, but traditional ones will be much easier to maintain I think.
