Re: Primitive longbow
My arrows would all be in the grass. Good shooting.
Got pics of the bow?

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

Re: Primitive longbow
Nice. I started doing a little reading last week about making a bow . That may be a far as it gets.

Re: Primitive longbow
Nice shooting, RR, and good luck with the summer camping setup.
A friend shared this video of a bowmaker demonstrating his process from start to finish, which is exceptional. You might like it as much as I did.
