My first bow...and its your fault.

[browndrake]

You know, I have always spent time in the hills hunting, fishing, camping, etc.
However, I have been stuck in the city and in a place in life keeping in the city for a few years now.

I made the mistake of looking at some knapped stone, online, a couple weeks ago..... ...... .... a see a firepiston......I end up here.......I make a firepiston.......people here talk about paleo planet..........I end up making a bow and arrow......( I have always wanted too, but never really done it..not a 'real' one).....I dont have time for all this..........IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!
thanks

Thanks

I have shot it a few times but only at home so only about 15 meters. Draws smoothly and flings the arrow pretty well. I dont have a chrony so dont know how fast but it hits hard. No noticable handshock.

I hope to get out Friday after school to shoot some more and at various distances and targets. If I dont, I think I am in trouble. My kids are chomping at the bit to go out and shoot their bows...

Well done!. This site is very addictive isnt it. Hope your kids enjoy their archery after school.

Well Done. I saw it on Paleoplanet and thought what a great job you've made of it. Particularly like the Guinea fowl fletchings and the knapped point.

Have fun when you get out...assuming the kids let you have a go
