In Episode #5 Steve and Nick welcome guest Ryan Gill to the podcast to discuss selfbows, atlatls, flintlocks and more.
Ryan Gill is an accomplished bowyer, flint knapper, author, and just a wealth of information about primitive skills. Ryan is the owner of Gills Primitive Archery where you can order everything from Ryan’s books, his bows and other primitive tools and even moccasins. He is also the owner of Primitive Revival, a website where Ryan focuses on “Re-creative & Experimental Archaeology Through Practical Application. Primitive Revival Production’s goal is to create both educational and entertaining content to inspire outdoor enthusiasts to take up the challenge of primitive hunting. Whether it be in the form of a Rock lock front stuffer (fun term for flintlock), Primitive bow & arrow, or the ultimate challenge: the Atlatl.“ Lastly, if you have not already done so, be sure to check out Ryan’s YouTube channel, Ryan Gill – Primitive Hunter where you will find some pretty amazing and entertaining videos related to hunting primitive.
