  • @TatankaOhitika1 Which direction do you bend it in?

  • having the majority of the handle below centre, ensures that the arrow is shot from the middle of the bow and has a more ballanced feel than it would otherwise have.

  • I like this video. If you used more tools and worked with dried wood you could get great bow from this piece of wood.Greets.

  • why should the bottom limb be shorter than the top?

  • Nice video . A few things to note - just to help out - A bow should never be bent severley while green . Moisture content is too high and the wood fibers will permanatley stress , and the bow will have poor recovery . Everytime wood is removed from the belly by tillering , the area should be bent a few times across the knee to recompress removed fibers , keeps the bow from breaking and failing under compression . A lot more to tell you but that is important .
