Warnings
- When shaping the bow, make sure to shave wood off the inside of the curve (the back of the bow). Otherwise, the bow is likely to break on its first use.
- The bow and arrow is not easy to use effectively. If you find yourself in a situation where you need to hunt to survive, you may be better off constructing traps or a more easily-used weapon.
- This bow and arrow is a lethal weapon. Exercise caution when using, and never aim at anything you do not intend to kill.
- Use extreme caution with the knife or axe.
- You may want to carry a bowstring with you when camping as they are hard to make from scratch.
- Keep bow and arrows out of reach of small children.
- Always wait for everyone to finish shooting to collect arrows.
Things You'll Need
- A dead hardwood stick about 1 meter in length for the bow
- Non-stretchy string (Hemp string works best as it is the strongest fiber known to man and you can get it at any jewelry store)
- Wood cutting tool (sharp knife or axe)
- Straight, dead sticks about 1/2 meter in length for arrows
- Feathers for fletching
- flint stone,metal, or similar materials to make arrow heads
- Steel wool, if making a green bow
