Make your own bow

Here's something I really fancy doing - making my own bow. I've been loking everywhere for some plans. I'll let you know how I get on.

Great find John. I'm going to try that to see how easy it is.

How about a team build?

Great find guys. I'm going to give this a try. Haven't made a bow since I was a kid.

I've been looking for ages for something like this. Thanks. Hope you don't mind if I share on a few other forums where people have been asking for somthin like this.

I know what you mean. I've asked in the past and there has never been a good tutorial on bow making. If you go back one step on the link you can find several books going back to 1600's on the use of bows, etc!

Come on somebody, get a build thread with pics started ASAP, this I HAVE to see!

Another useful site about bows and archery. This page is on thumb rings which you need for certain types of bow.
