Bow Making Courses

[Wayne]

Hi.

I have unexpectedly got several places available for Bow Making Courses on 21 - 23 June and 28 - 30 June.

Due to a client getting their dates mixed up.

Therefore I am able to offer a late booking discount. 3 Days Bow Making fully catered £175.00 per person.

Usual cost £225.

Courses will be at our Amberley museum site and commence at 0930.

By the end of the course you will leave with a shooting Flat Bow and an arrow and string you have made yourself.

to book pm me on here

This is a great course and I highly recommend it. My Forest Knights flat-bow, made four years ago, is still shooting.

Glad your bow is still behaving itself. 4 years and still shooting, not bad for 3 days work.

Bargan... wish I could make the dates, and I had the money spare... but have a Bump on me

Damn - I've been wanting to do a course like this for ages. Were I not already committed for these dates, I'd snap this up.

Thats a great course at a great price. Looked over some of the pictures and it looks great.
A self bow alone would cost more than that and you would also come away with the skill to make your own.

Are these vacancies still available? I might be able to fill one.

We still have places available this weekend and the next.

My clients keep needing to change dates and I try to be accommodating where possible.

After that the price reverts to a usual £225 per person.

I would absoulutely love to do this course and with the reduced price it would be a good time to do it but, alas the funds and the time are not available at the moment.

It great oppourtunity for somebody though!!!

I have just completed this course and come away with a sexy new flat bow and a lot of sore muscles.

I chose the hottest weekend of the year so far - lovely weather, but not ideal for hard manual labour. Having said that, it was all worth it. The experience of making the bow, learning the techniques, seeing it come together and ending up with a shooting bow was a huge pleasure - allbeit a sweaty one.

Wayne and his patient and knowledgable No 2 David guided me through. Taking me from an 8 inch ash log to the almost finished product (I still have some cosmetic work to do at home). Splitting, chopping, measuring, shaving, tillering and stringing, I even got to shoot it at the end - missing the target. I also used tools, such as a draw knife, that I have never used before. It was an educational and pleasurable three days - the camp food was almost 'cordon bleu' too, which helped.

Thanks Wayne. Thanks David. I hope to see you both at the moot - or soon.

I so nearly booked this but was nervous at the thought of attending on my lonesome I would love to see the bow if you are gracing the next meet with your presence

 

[Ichneumon]

Do it Chris, you won't regret it. I was on my own and it wasn't a problem. And yes, I'll bring the bow down to the next meet.

 

[Wayne]

Thanks for the kind words Paul.

Here is a picture of the new bow.ending

Both limbs are the same length and are bending the same amount. Just looks odd from my iphone pic.
