How to Wrap a Bow Handle with Leather

[@tylertrombley9481]

Was in my college class when I got this notification. Needless to say I was so excited to leave class and watch this video.

[@beesmongeese2978]

Exact same situation here! I love this style of handle wrapping. Stitching usually doesn't look as authentic as this.

[@huntprimitive9918]

haha, I don't think this one was exciting enough to warrant that, however it wouldn't take very much for me to want to leave class either!

Lmao we really didn't go to uni out of passion but for inside office work.

PHD, that was a good one. Just finished first 19 pages of new book. Thoughtful and meaningful. Now I know where you came from, where you stand, and the direction you are headed. Thanks, now to finish all chapters.

[@huntprimitive9918]

thanks very much. I hope you enjoy!

Started reading your newest book, very good so far 👌 I know you said martial archery isn't your area of expertise, but I would like to point out that the highly technical target archery you refer to didn't develop in Europe until 18-19 century high society started playing games in their gardens with low draw-weight bows. Archery throughout Eurasia was predicated on both short-draw snap-shooting and long-draw/instinctive/unanchored/long-range shooting. However, primitive hunting is not my area of expertise and I am thoroughly enjoying The Secrets and Science of Primitive Archery :) Edit: I should probably clarify that the long draw shooting I am talking about doesn't utilize anchor points (such as the cheek) and is not held back very long whilst aiming. Because of the use of long self-bows or laminated short recurve bows, and the physical stress of a 100+ lbs. draw weight in the low range and 150+ lbs. draw weight in the upper range, the entire draw/loose process only takes 3 seconds at maximum and commonly 1 second or less. As far as which side of the bow to shoot from, the record and tradition indicate this was personal preference.

thanks very much and hope you enjoy the book. Thanks for the insights as well

thank you very much

[@blacksnapper7684]

I wonder if he’s gonna do a video on barbed arrow/spears, or even blowguns…..

[@huntprimitive9918]

blowguns is a possibility. I used one a lot as a kid but haven't now in years. I might consider it if I ever find the spare time

[@munchkin5674]

[@steveromerodetorres7974]

Looks amazing , i'll try on my bow. Is that finish your pine pitch and bear grease sealer? Thanks for sharing.

[@huntprimitive9918]

thanks much. This one actually has a modern finish. But on a bow with the pitch/grease sealer, definitely apply the grip first and then seal the bow or the leather will never stick the wood. I should have mentioned that!

[@signaturerush]

Would a brain tan with fur on be good?

[@sylvainrey916]

If using hide glue or pine pitch, do you need to sand the handle before applying the glue?

[@huntprimitive9918]

if it's to bare wood you'll be fine. But definitely don't try to glue over any grease/wax based finishes

[@sylvainrey916]

@@huntprimitive9918 My bow is greased over, I won't glue anything over the handle then. Thanks for the tip!

[@Outdoorlifestyle06]
