How To Build a Powerful Split American Hunting Bow and Arrow？| Homemade Bow | The Way of Archery

Subscribe to my channel：bit.ly/3j5l9Xo
In this video, I will show you how to make a split American hunting bow. Using the most common three-stage structure, upper and lower bow pieces and a bow handle.
The accuracy of the mounting surface of the bow handle is particularly important. It directly affects the life and safety of the bow. It requires the help of some electric tools to complete it, otherwise it is prone to dangers such as twisting.
After the bow hunting, I made a quiver also according to my needs. It's simple and quick, which is very suitable for daily practice shooting.
Thank you for watching my video! Hope you will like it.

Here in the states we call this a takedown recurved bow. Takedown refers to the ability to disassemble the bow and reassemble it at will. I watched the entire video and I admire the care and craftsmanship taken to construct this particular bow- I have a takedown of my own. It’s wonderful work!

[@DFX2KX]

Indeed, The limbs are held on better then they are on my SAS Explorer. I think the limbs are made better, too. Plus, being able to make your own means that, forbid you do twist or break a limb, you can always make another. Most of us can't do that, though now I'm tempted to make the attempt.

[@1014p]

Well there is an actual split bow and this is not it. Majority of modern recurve bows are take down by design. Easier to turn limbs when not one piece. I guess if you felt need to label it take down bow then sure.

When this video started, I was wondering " What the hell is going on here? I thought she was making a bow", but I continued to let the music soothe me and the video play, until I realized I was watching mastery in its finest form. This is beautiful.

[@Ed19601]

Yes, me too. I was like whats with that cupboRd being lined with alufoil.....but the true mastery was about to unfold. Amazing

[@DFX2KX]

Recurve bows (especially take down bows) really don't look like bows when you first start making one, yeah, lol. It requires a lot of planning to get things to line up properly. The approach that threw me for a loop was the rubber hose filled with air. Normally we'd use clamps for that. That shortcut did the same thing and did a good job of keeping pressure uniform. No idea how she came up with that approach, but I'm going to try and remember it.

@@Gabemw She doesn't know how to make things. She's just an actress in this production. She had an expert supervising every move, who probably made the actual thing for the most part whenever she failed. KZbin is full of such videos all made in the same directing style of quietness, using hot young women, cos you know SEX SELLS! You think she's the one running this operation? No, it's a well oiled machine consisting of stage set designer, procurer of all the expensive machinery, camera men with multiple expensive cameras (even if there's no moving cameras you still need an expert with framing), director, editor, music director, search algorithm expert for the perfect title keyword, and even someone who speaks perfect English in the video description and commenting, which 99% of Chinese don't do, so what are the odds this particular pretty young woman would!?

[@RegisMichelLeclerc]

Beautiful work, really, and it's working pretty well as far as I can see. However, talking of the life and safety of the bow, there should be a grove at the end of each branch (where the branch and the string meet) to guide the string so to prevent the string from sliding on the side and twisting the branches.

[@charliebowen5071]

No there shouldn’t... the limbs won’t wrist if tillered correctly... you are talking nonsense

[@MarcMartino]

Do you mean what she did at 14:21 cause she cut string grooves after shaping the backing for the tips.

[@RegisMichelLeclerc]

@@MarcMartino No, this is the second side of the notch on the limb; on recurve bows, you also have a grove in the middle of the limb, tangent to the curve and perpendicular to the notch that prevents the string from going aside as a result of the vibration.
