Building a Survivalbow and Arrow

submitted by maxplayer on 05/15/14 1

Bow used in this video: Composite Bow "Falcon 3" by Lajos Kassai. Review and learning experience: 1. Bow: The limbs were a little bit too weak, next time I gonna attach one more limb to make the bow stronger stronger. Maybe birch is not the perfect material for a bow, cause it seems too springy. 2. Arrow: The arrow did a good job, especially the feathers astonished me, but the tip got loose after a couple of shots, so I have to tie the tip tighter to the shaft next time, and glue it in better. The shaft was too soft, with too little spine. The reason was that I used buckthorn for the arrow, which is growing straight but is just too soft. All in all I was pretty happy with the bow :-)
