The Bow
1)
well you need a peace of wood...it has to be felxiable (SP) and able to bend with out braking
2)
then tack off the bark with a knife ( do not do this if you are young or with out a parent)
3)
then I soake it in water over night
4)
then take a knife and cut 2 notches at each end ( do not dry the wood before you do this)
5)
then you take a good string (close to a dm in with) and put it in the bottom notch
6)
then wrap it around 4 times ( you do not want to many times around)
7)
put the string in the other notch
8)
tighten it so that it bends ( not to much though)
9)
When it is tightened tye the string around 4 times
10)
cut off the extra string
11)
set it out to dry for 1-2 days
The Arrows
1)
get a strong peace of small wood ( smaller than your thumb)
2)
tack off the bark
3)
Cut a notch at the end not as big as the string but close
(add a sharp but not too sharp point)
4)
carve the top part to a point
The Quiver
1)
Get many sticks
2)
weave them together with string
3)
Get some of bark big enough for the bottom
4)
attache the bark
5)
get a string and make a strap
6)
put arrows in it
Yes I do have one yes I made it...
I thought I would make a thread so that you could find out how easier...
