Hi! I impulse bought one of these horsebows last year and am having great fun shooting milk cartons in my back garden. I'd like to maybe try to make a bow.
It seems that most people who make their own bows do it because they want to replicate primitive style bows. There's a guy called Malc (Johnjayrambo1111) on Ytube that has some excellent tutorials, and there is the master from Paleo as well. They make cool bows from staves.
I'm wondering if you can make a working bow from thin slats/veneer and strips of fibreglass, glue, fabric,stuff you can find in B&Q? I'm thinking cheap and simple if you didn't get my drift.
PS. When I try to put a smiley in my post, why does it always come up at the title?
