How to make bows and arrows at the medieval style

The process of making bows and arrows for people who cannot afford to buy real ones.
Hello. This bow is only to learn the basic of shooting. It is not pretended to penetrate armor, achieve a long range, and less kill or injury somebody(thats your decision)
This bow is about 20 lbs. Im guessing.
Remeber, this is just to learn the basis of shooting, for example: learn how to draw with force- learn to release the arrow with considerable force, and shooting long range without achieving a long range.
When Im saying "medieval style" is something like medieval, but its not really medieval, it is NOT at the modern type, beacause if you shoot with a modern one, whats the interest? with zoom, with helps for the arrow, wind mesurement, no. This is the real deal.
Hope you enjoy it. If your trying to make it, and It doesnt works as you expect, comment. Im eager to help.
If you want to achieve a long range, buy the sticks 31 inches long

Hey I was reading the comment that you said what do you mean by reinforcing the bow? Plz help.

[norcorneliocastrogom]

@Justlivelife101 Reinforce means that If you use just one pipe, in the center, or belly, you will see it bend just in there, and the upper and lower parts are straight, so what I do is to put another pipe that fits outside in the belly, so, the center will be more hard to bend, so, the full bow bends, you have an increase in draw weight, and more range for you arrow.

Hope this helps
