If you want to plunge into the past, to create the weapon with which our ancestors conquered new lands and defended their homes, you will need a lot of patience, high-quality materials for assembly and a lot of spare parts if you want your bow to look as dignified as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the size and range of your bow. Depending on your goals, you can make a lightweight bow, or maybe even a collapsible bow that you can disassemble and reassemble as needed in a matter of seconds. Or maybe you want to build a large hunting bow that can calm even a thick-skinned bear forever? If you want to make not so much a weapon as a work of art and another original decor element, you will need less effort to find quality materials, but more to improve the appearance.
Step 2
Go to the building supplies store. Alas, there are too few specialized stores with a similar theme to try to find it and buy everything you need there. It will be too expensive, and it is not a fact that you will find exactly what you want. For the tensioning mechanism, you need wood or plastic with high deformation and recovery capabilities. If the bow is only part of the interior, then ivory, ebony and mahogany are perfect for finishing weapons of any size. The arrows are best ordered. It will be even cheaper, since you will need complex tools and professional skills to create them.
Step 3
Be careful when assembling. Wrong movement or too much pressure can easily break everything you've been working on. If you have problems finding drawings, look for them on specialized forums, where there is always a person who will help you find the diagram and deal with it.
Step 4
Don't forget that the bow is a dangerous weapon. It is great for hunting and can easily cause lethal damage to humans. Even in nature, do not shoot at random. You never know which bush the mushroom picker is sitting behind, and which your children are eating berries for while you are distracted.
