I would like to make a simple bushcraft bow, I had a shot when I was smaller with my father, it was effective, but was made in about an hour...
I tried to make one last week, fail... I used a hedge as the wood, so this time I will make a bow using hazel, but how do you make it bend evenly, and how do you make it strong? Fire?
Also could I use a very long shoelace, and I use shoelace for pretty much everything...Also what about arrows, I use hazel, but I could never get it aerodynamic.
Thanks
Just a vid...
