Archery can be considered a real hobby. Customizing the bow by deciding to build one with your own hands will make the add fun to the activity. Following this simple guide, building one will be a real breeze.
Needed:
- Wooden stick
- Fishing line (or twine)
- Sand paper
- Wooden stick (for the arrow)
- Boxcutter
Method:
Obtain a wooden stick of 150-170 cm in length and 4 cm in diameter. The choice of the type of wood is personal, but in this guide we recommend the ash for its properties and characteristics. Smooth the stick using sandpaper so as to eliminate any possible protrusion.
The diameter must be 4 cm in the center of the stick, while at the two ends it must reach 2 cm. Too thin could compromise the functionality of the object once it is finished.
Drill two furrows with a small knife, one at each end. This will cause the line not to move when using the bow.
Bring a fishing line (or possibly string) and lock it on the two furrows created previously on the stick. The attachment of the rope is important. Tighten the tail sufficiently and fix it with a loop near one end of the bow. Do the same for the second furrow.
Now it’s time to create the arrow. Take a 1 cm diameter stick. For the length measure the distance between the arch and the rope and add a margin of 4 cm. Taper one end of the arrow with the knife and make a groove on the other end, to make the string adhere to the bow. Smooth everything using sandpaper.
The decorations on the object are personal and depend on their taste.
Tip: this item is not a toy. Handle with care and care. Safety first!
