it is a good way to make money. i have a nice set up, im currently 80 wc and 77 fletch, i make my own nats, i cut my own yew, and i have a nice little spot where i pick flax right next to a bank. the only draw-back of makin bows is stringing. that takes forever, since you can only string 14 at a time, which takes a while when you do 1-3k at a time. in my opinion, its worth the money, and magic exp.
