How To Make A Bow And Arrow
By Jason Taingahue
Do you want to know how to make a bow and arrow? If you have answered yes to this question then read on and I will explain to you how to make a bow and arrow.
The first thing that we need when we are learning how to make a bow and arrow is a bow. I will note first that we will be learning how to make a toy bow and arrow first. With the toy bow and arrow, this is a rough idea of how a bow and arrow is made on a childs scale. To make a better or more mature bow and arrow all that you need to do is get some stronger materials, but that is for adults to do.
Now back to learning how to make a bow and arrow. To get a bow all that we need is a stick that is flexible and strong and about half the size of your body. Once we have this stick, we can the go in about 1-2 inches from each end and carefully carve out a little groove around the width of the stick. Now that we have the groove carved out when learning how to make a bow and arrow, the next step is to get a piece of cat gut or nylon.
You can even use the nylon that they have on fishing lines as this is going to complete our bow. When learning how to make the bow we must first bend the bow a little without breaking it and the tie the nylon into each groove at each end so that the end result for learning how to make the bow is that it looks like a "D" shape with the nylon being the back of the "D".
Now we can move on to learning how to make the arrows. To make the arrows for the bow we must get some sticks that are about half the length of the bow and carve one end so that it has a sharp point. I would use bamboo sticks for arrows because they are pretty solid and easy to work with. Once we have sharpened the end when learning how to make the arrow for the bow, we can now turn the arrow around and cut a little 5mm groove into the end and do the same with the other side of that end parallel to the one that you have just cut. This is used so that you have a groove to lock into the nylon when you are ready to fire the arrow.
Now that the bow and arrow are finished all that you have to do is fire it and to do this you take the arrow and put the end with the groove in it into the nylon on the bow and then you carefully pull the bow back and the you let it go and watch it fire ahead of you.
When you are firing an arrow, be sure that there is no one around or in front of you. And all safety precautions must be taken into consideration when firing a weapon like this because it can be very fatal if it is used in the wrong way and that is the last thing that we need to happen. So please, just be careful.
