How It's Made-Traditional Bows (Hunting Bows)

Today they will show you how they make Traditional Bows (Hunting Bows)!
A composite bow is a bow made from disparate materials laminated together, usually applied under tension. Different materials are used in order to take advantage of the properties of each material.
This article describes mainly the traditional Asiatic composite bow, which normally uses horn on the belly and sinew on the back of a wooden core. Sinew and horn will store more energy than wood for the same length of bow. The strength can be made similar to that of all-wood bows, with similar draw-length and therefore a similar or greater amount of energy delivered to the arrow from a much shorter bow. Some Mongolian composite bows are known to have been able to produce a draw weight of nearly 160 lb.

Nice to see the traditional fiberglass techniques of our ancient ancestors!

[@viktorg7613]

And the traditional way they used band saws and belt sanders

[@ghouletteren]

I have been a fan of traditional bows all my life, and I have all the equipments to make one :D *starts crafting*

[@jstranger123]

hands of a true craftsman. you know it when you see it.

[@friedmaniac]

I love the way this is narrated. It's like it's saying, "Observe the bow maker in it's natural habitat."

[@XKDUBSTEP]

this actually looks pro, i want one now.

[@Stevenw609]

Excellent Job! Also, a heck of a shot.

[@tlotredits]

lotr for me :D since i watched it,bows became one of my passions

[@DavidSaintOnge2007]

i wish i had the equipment and area to make a bow in. it looks like such a fun hobby. i love archery and bow hunting and would love to get the chance to hunt with a bow i made myself

[@samjean1122]

I gonna go make myself a hero's bow now. :)

[@xzqzq]

Nice bows !!

[@bwhite890]

I think the best deal out there right now is a two rivers longbow. you can find him on ebay most of the time, I think he uses ebay to sell all his bows, anyway he makes long bows and sells them for around 225-280 dollars and everyone in his comments page says his bows rock. I noticed he was in the pages of Primitive Archer for his bow making and quality of work. I am saving up some money and plan on having him make my next bow. I think his bows will be worth a lot more in the near future. Getone

[@Alegiance]

I make these all the time. 30% attack speed really helps out.

[@mabdiuhrman]

I freaking love this show

[@Holyfraek12]

i love how its made

[@chongbengtan1980]

Awsome work, respect.....

[@anis8088]

hahah..lama tarak dengar cerita..

[@abot19]

Xav Tan I have that exact bow "firehawk longbow" @70# for my draw length It is the finest crafted bow that I have ever shot. Rodney is a master bowyer.

[@MustObeyTheRules]

you are very right there sir but wrong about self bows that didnt make sence you said harder to get consistent with and get enough power without having a high draw weight?

[@retitube]

I made one,works perfect!

[@mauddib111111]

It is a reflex/deflex longbow, it makes a D shape when strung. Compounds have cams and very long risers.

[@36baker1971]

How do you build that air bladder that your clamping with. is it just a reinforced biycycle tube?

[@0hypnotoad0]

Certainly not traditional, but a very beautiful piece of work.

[@belzach]

how much is the cost of one of those bows ??? and where can i get one ??? nice bow I WANT ONE :(

[@idrisabdullah3492]

Yeah, apples were so hard to catch that people needed bows to hunt them down.

[@memeagain4106]

Idris Abdullah give it a rest mate

[@ahmedelkhatib8367]

do you have to include fiberglass strips or you do it with out it

[@PetaBread27]

Good video.

[@Aotearoaforeva]

yes replacing fiber glass with animal sinew and modern glue with tree resin, most evergreens/ pines work. mix with a little finely powdered charcoal as an added binding agent, also mix in dried hoarse or deer droppings, or any dropping high in fibrous plant material. droppings add a structural property to the glue. oh and you wont be laminating sinew between the staves, it will run the length of the back except for the nock.

[@widgeonslayer]

I hunt with a bow similar to this one. They are ea lot of fun to shoot.

[@Aggiefan9898]

Where can i get one of these bows and about how much do they cost??

[@wilcaswell]

Well said!

[@anzac2404]

The English Long Bow is made from willow, so if you can get it, use it. Great vid but its not what I thought it would be, still interesting to see how these types are made.

[@arrowslingnTV]

nice bow ! makes me apriciate mine a little more! ty... host ( ArrowSling'n TV)

[@guapman11]

@ybotn hey dude what animals do you use for sinew string, i need to know a good animal to take down without too much fuss or wasting animal meat

[@dschonsie]

nice bow, but traditonal? with fibre glass and nylon strings?

[@gregoriotodoque]

MARAVILLOSO

[@Soviless99]

i looked at this bowmakers website and it influenced me to make an assyrian/egyptian triangular bow, i currently have it clamped up to deflex the limbs like those bow typically were. i lack horn or sinew thought but i am going to just back it with cloth or if anyone can give me any better ideas

[@sarcosuchus7]

HI WHAT KING OF GLUE DID HE USE TO LAMINATE THE BOW? THANKS.

[@Fiendxz]

That bow is AWESOME. I've seen those sell for 300 bucks at bass pro shops. You can make 600 bucks a day working 6 hours a day. Thats 4,200 bucks a week.

[@mathijs175]

can someone tell me the name of this bow? or the company that makes them?

[@bendotwood]

with a compound bow you tighten the limb nuts. on any other bow the draw weight is set. you can adjust it by tillering the bow to a higher draw weight as is discussed in ''the bowyers bible''

[@guitarocker311]

Yes but can you do it as well as Suzanne Collins did?

[@oldbonkers89]

I agree with you, the Hunger Games filled up my archery range with a large amount of newbies.

[@BackstrokeOfTheWest]

@mfr1005 I think it's just a custom jig to make sure he files the notches in the same place on every bow.

[@Soviless99]

i "crudely" made my first bow and it broke right above the handle when I steamed the handle and put into a form I made hehe. learned alot of useful information and ways to make my next project not take as long. I am just disapointed I spent roughly 15$ on wood!!

[@NicholasKelley111]

This is the reason i make selfbows :D

[@NickSpanglerlaugh]

completely agree!

[@piggylord32]

how do you increase the draw weight of an bow?

[@yomarioo]

i like archery. I've nailed a bulls-eyes smaller than a dime, but only three times in eight months.

[@MysticKnight38]

Thanks... knew it wasn't a recurve and couldn't remember what it was called. She did call it a longbow though.

[@brcdrift]

that apple didnt have a chance... lol!!!!!

[@chris123mane]

For how much does one of does bows go for ???

[@undrclasshro]

hell yeah!

[@beekyosuke]

you're right. cuz they should've shown us how to make a self bow or composite bows

[@Tbergan67]

How much would one of those cost?

[@MrOttavio777]

YES YES YES

[@beekyosuke]

does anyone know how to taper both sides like the guy does? I've only seen the short one sided taper jig.

[@beekyosuke]

increase strength and structure for the wood. it holds the wood together to prevent it from breaking

[@hockey4311]

what type of epoxy is it

[@yomarioo]

@AlenXIII i think that it was to show the skill of the archer, because hitting an apple from, like, 10 yards is really hard, i speak from experience.

[@giorgimeladze6713]

How can I buy that bow? Does he have Ebay account or something else?

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Yes you are right a more traditional style bow would be a long bow but the bow he was shooting in the video wasn't a recurve it was a reflex- deflex bow but yes

[@mfr1005]

Question: what is the form tool he is using for the notches? I can't find it anywhere. The metal thing he puts on the bows as he saws a notch for the string. I just flagged an asston of comments that were nothing but hate speech and religious debate. It's amazing there is anything left. Lets try to stay on topic people.

[@beekyosuke]

how do u taper both sides?

[@oliverbjelland4645]

I WANT THAT!

[@CrazyForPianosGirl]

katniss everdeen is the narrator and main character of the book and film the hunger games her weapon is bows and arrows. hunger games is set in panem, with 1 capitol and origninally 13 districts, during a war, the 13th district was "utterly destroyed" and as punishment, the hunger games. read it! its great. really nice book but its a little bit above average film for me. but read the book its awesome. im not really someone who reads but i could not put hunger games down, try it ;)

[@TheSwedishRebel]

Brand on the bow??

[@deathfrets]

where can i buy one of these anyone have a link

[@widgeonslayer]

I dont know what this one costs but a custom bow can go from $300 to $1500. I have a friend who makes them and sells them for $750 which considering the actual amount of work that goes into one is not bad.

[@holyman668]

the apple didnt have a chance XD

[@ian27293]

I think I will be making a bow soon :) There's a lot of information on KZbin

[@Ryanfern99]

yeah lol i mean im more interested in bows now cuz of assassins creed 3 but i loved bows before ac3, hunger games, etc

[@Michael748159263]

Orange: Hey apple. Apple: WHAT?!?! Orange: RECURVE BOW

[@Guafi777]

@azza44100 "compound" bow use pulleys. composites use different layers of wood.

[@TheGavinch]

Wish I had those tools...

[@muskegsniffer]

That cave man has better tools than I have

[@EGCblackknight]

traditional is more a description of style, ie straight limb vs compound, the bows that are all wood or natural materials are often called primative( not a very adequit description in my oppinion)

[@DrScurvy]

Ok guys, this seems easy enough. Let's do this!

[@fbravus]

I just wanna to get a Mongol Bow 46 lb and another with 60 lb,I wan't too, a Hungarian bow with 45/50 lb. I love traditional hand made bows. And they are very reliable and I can Hunt Turkeys, Hogs and Deers from 50 lb + .

[@Njennings42]

Odd, I wasn't aware traditional bows were made using fiberglass lamination.

[@0x33f]

I think your getting "Primitive" and "traditional" bows mixed up as they are currently defined/seen in archery

[@sasabe121]

you're welcome ;)

[@Soviless99]

@ROFLpwnedvideos i see what you're saying. i like to think of it as Modern Traditional rather than traditional. Primitive traditional to me is different, sinew, hide glue, fish air bladder glue, horn on the belly etc. Traditional = no sights cables pulleys or metal on the bow.

[@TYKKETYKKE]

Agreed. Bows are for real men!

[@thecreativeoneosx10]

LEGOLAS NUFF SAID!!!

[@nephildevil]

indeed!

[@MustObeyTheRules]

wow it just so happens that i commented on a few crossbow videos yesterday. but hold on you just said theres absolutely no tradition in crossbows ? hahah crossbows have been around since longbows were used for medieval war. i also want to say compounds have been around for a while they also have a little tradition to them i have a video up of my recent mulberry flat bow trust me all i think about all day is shooting my bow or working on a new bow im addicted to primitive archery !

[@davidkrowa4153]

because there are 3 main categories of bows, compound, traditional, and primitive, Compound, modern bows with the circles at the end and the pulleys, Primitive are wooden simple robin hood bows, now traditional bows are a remake of the primitive, they follow the same principles but with modern technology added to it like fiber glass.

[@snomss]

no. I did too!

[@nomad1545]

Hey, hey apple, hey. Arrow, ahahahah.

[@aaronrushton1]

dude compared with modern compounds made from polymers or even modern target recurves these are pretty trad. it's what they were using in the 50's so that's traditional enough for me. selfbows (bows made from one piece of wood) are harder to get consistent with and get enough power without having a high draw weight .

[@jckstrthmghty]

by traditional they mean style/type of construction. Traditional rather than compound. There's probably a variation of terminology based on region.

[@stickmantheatre]

wow the primitive cave man had super inhesive glue thats one smart cookie

[@novapwner1234567]

no, this is how to make a MODERN traditional bow.

[@boardgamenerd]

@kitchenknifeset And band saws too!

[@tartap00]

Actually check out turkish and mongol history. They did use composite bows. Hence why the Mongols founded the largest empire ever. (and still have not been beaten) Theirs was a composition of horn and wood.

[@hawkfeather8]

That bowstring is made out of a polyester fabric called dacron, not nylon. Nylon doesn't work for bowstrings, it stretches too much.

[@Spytim98]

A character from a movie.

[@RockPop1337]

i like Intro music

[@maaderllin]

First off, I'm Christian and I do know that evolution is real. Big bang is really plausible. For me God is the One who setted the physic law and pushed the "start" button, like a domino game, with the difference that we, as individuals have the choice of on which other dominos we'll fall and how we will influence each others and ourselves

[@Sofcruz127]

Judging by the number of thumbs you get, you are not alone.

[@spaceship0803]

Thats probably how the apple logo was invented

[@SonoftheLivingGod7]

So beautiful bows he makes. The thing called a bow today is not a bow, but a fucking machine doing all the work for you. To bad.

[@11jlm]

i could of eaten that apple...lmao
