Complete set of build notes dansantanabows.com/how-to-make-a-survival-bow-build-notes/ If you're in a real survival situation chances are you should go find a road instead. That said, I hope you all have fun with this build and pass it on to someone else who would enjoy it too.

Hilarious. What an original comment...

I remember a conversation when I was younger, when everyone tried to tell me you need to have rubber strings for a bow, and no one believed me that the string is actually non-flexible at all and all the power comes from the wood itself

Yes the job of the string is to spring load the bow and not to act as a spring itself.

I remember I got into a war in my neighborhood and I was talking with the enemy about their weapons, and he showed me a bent stick with a gun band on it and I told him it was a slingbow. He didn’t understand.

I used to make bows as a kid, I hadn’t made one for 30 years and then my son needed one for a school play, so I went to the local forest and found a yew tree (fairly common around here) and cut a pretty straight branch, stripped the bark, dried it for a few days then notched it, bent it and strung it. He was only 8/9 so I decided to make it around 4ft and reasonably hard for him to pull, it looked great but the surprise was when I used it with a roughly made bamboo cane arrow it flew true and straight for about 50 metres, a full size yew bow is tremendously powerful.

Dude this is quite possibly the best survival bow demonstration out there, it even tells you what knots to tie!

I used to do this as a kid, but never anything of great quality or meant to last. My son & I are just about to go out & get started on the process. Watching your video just helped get my juices flowing. Thanks!

Good luck!

When I was a kid my parents had a flower shop. We used to make bowes using bamboo and simple strings. Our arrows where light wooden sticks that you use to let your flower grow straight. The target was the pallet of bags with earth. Oh the good old times.

This was so great! Following the instructions here, I spent the last 3 days working on a greenbow from a black locust, and I fired an arrow from it for the first time today. Amazing!

This might be the best video on tillering! Lots of thoughts on how to tiller. That may be a great video idea, how to tiller, with fancy equipment or no equipment! I would definitely enjoy a tutorial on how to make an arrow. Nice teaser there, bucko.

you have a great talent for systematizing your experience. 😊 thank you so much

I'd say it's quite remarkable you made it in an hour. But then again, that's how it goes when you have an expert doing the work.

Easy and simple to follow video. As you said, it's a survival bow, dinner for tonight and this week.

Those shots at the end were incredible. Such a marksman.

Fantastic video, well presented, relaxing and educational. Subbed!

Thank you for this incredible tutorial!

I like this video. From a beginner's point, this is as good as it gets. It hits nearly all functional, necessary points, and it'll be great for people who have to make a quick shift in either sourcing calories, or attack/defense. The biggest problem I've found is that the nock is too small. Look back on the best bowmen of the world; thicker, often reinforced nocks. Long story short: Don't carve away your draw weight at the tips.

@DanSantanaBows

Жыл бұрын

I would insist that these are well sized tips for a self bow. The tips carry very little draw weight and making unnecessarily big big tips is a notorious beginner mistake that costs arrow speed and leads to handshock The idea that self bows need reinforced nocks is an old timey myth caused by modern bows as well as english warbows with horn nocks. Those need the reinforcements not only because of the 100+ pounds of draw weight but because they have violated backs. I’ve built 70+ pound bows with self nocks and skinnier tips than this. Among all the good bowyers I’ve talked to Id say it’s a pretty much consensus issue that you should make the tips as light as possible as long as they’re strong enough. I even use fastflight strings on bows with no overlays and know dozens of bowyers who do so as well. Pick up the bowyers bible series of a books for some deep dives into the effect of tip mass on performance

Nice. Takes me back to my childhood. Gotta make one like this with my kids.

You just saw him do it with a hatchet, pocket knife, and paracord... Just add 1 step, dig a six foot trench build a fire in it, and hang your bow above it to dry it quicker. Then do what he did.

“Survival” bow videos are considered a red flag in the bowyer community. This was my attempt to steal from that audience while still teaching some real bow making concepts. For much better instructions check out my board bow tutorial. Clay Hayes and Swiftwood bows also have some excellent step by step tutorials

Coming from someone who made a bow out of a Dino mask and a stick, this bow is pretty amazing.

Thanks

That’s the trouble with making green wood bows. If you retiller them when they dry out you can avoid it breaking but it’s always better to start with dry wood.
