Nice work! Some hints: 1. distance between handle and a bowstring (brace height) should be much higher - around 7-8 inches. Otherwise string will keep hurting your forearm, and accuracy will be poor. 2. Change the way you grab bowstring/arrow. Recommended for this shape of bow will be thumb draw (aka thumb release). Other recommended is known as three fingers or mediterranean draw. Anyway, I admire your skills.

You are right and .... I think this bow will completely bend or break after the first time you tighten it properly. And he probably has too. That's why he don't show how the arrow is shot from the bow. It's a pity not to show it when something doesn't work out, but it's still a very nice job.

This is not forging, this is not art...this is beyond all of those. THIS IS MAGIC!! 😍😍😍

Amazing work! One major design issue I see that adds to what is called "the Archer's paradox" is there is NO relief cutout in the handle where the arrow rests. The arrow will fly straighter seated close to the centerline of the limbs vs having to bend 1/2 inch off center at the thicker handle. This causes the arrow to flex a LOT when fired and makes the tip and tail travel 1/2 inch left and right of center in flight, making it much harder to hit your target! Still... a beautiful bow!

Cool Project, excellent craftsmanship. Safety Warning: copper bus bar on your steel bow is not a great idea, dissimilar metal corrosion will happen to the bow steel and the bow will corrode under the bus bar coiled around it. Then it can possibly snap. Keep it in a dry place to slow this down. Also install a zinc anode into whatever part of the grip you don't hold firmly attached to the metal. Zinc will corrode before steel and copper, saving the bow. This way it will not again become a rusty leaf spring. ~One Engineer

The english regularly fired bows in excess of 150lbs of draw weight so the stave itself would be substantial. You don't think an archer in the medieval period that grew up fighting with his friends using a quarterstaff would hesitate to use an unstrung bow as a weapon? What do you think they did with rejected bow blanks? Burn them or turn them into quarterstaves or hafts for other weapons?

I had the same idea of making a bow out of a leaf spring 20 years ago while I was looking at the springs found on a old western covered wagon. But I couldn't figure out the process of doing it. This makes a lot of sense. Instead of heating it I was thinking that I would have to grind it down to make it thinner then cut it into shape so it would not lose its springiness.

I believe he is talking about the steel bows stored in Indian armory fortresses. Steel bows often have decently high draw weight, but often perform worse than composite or even wood bows with similar or lower draw weights and similar because of their lower prod efficency and often lower powerstroke. This is reflected in the poor performance of high poundage steel crossbows compared to bows and crossbows made out of wood or composite materials. Thus, I believe the steel bows were mainly used as "storage armory" weapons that would be resistant against the elements and could be distributed in mass if a large army was required.

@@Intranetusa Kautilya dates to the 4th century BCE. And since he merely chronicles the existence of such an implement, we can assume it has existed for a few centuries (at least) before Kautilya. Horn bows were old hat, and had existed for millennia before Kautilya. Unfortunately, we have few surviving texts about ancient Indian armament today (most records were destroyed in the millennium of Islamic invasion and cultural destruction). We need to reconstruct the possibilities from sources like thesauruses, the few remaining technical works, sculpture and other visual arts, literature, and whatever little archaeology turns up for us to deal with. For instance, one of the most popular and reliable thesauruses for the Sanskrit language is that of Amarasimha, called 'Naamalingaanushaasana'- The Precept of Names and Genders. In it, there is a chapter dedicated to words related to Kshaatra, which covers aspects of polity, administration, war, etc. In it, Amarasimha gives us a lot of useful information relating to these topics.

I know I’m late to this party but wanted to point out two things. But first, absolutely beautiful work. Very well done! Now, first is that the bow string is to long. You want there to be about 6 inches from the belly of the bow to the string. With the arrow, you want a much deeper knock that will pinch the bow string and hold itself on. Then you can draw back further with 2 or 3 fingers on the string and not having to pinch to keep the arrow on, which doesn’t allow you to draw the bow back as far. Awesome build once again!
