Whats the easiest way to make a long bow, short bow, recurve bow, or compound bow that shoots at least 50 yds?
Just basically anykinda bow, that shoots atleast 50 yards i would like to avoid bringing out the power tools but i guess i could if i had to as long as its cheap and easy without much risk of loseing a body part
This fellow I know made a flatbow out of hickory with nothing but a chisel. From the looks of it, I can see that bow shooting 50 yards with no problems at all. Easiest to make would be a flatbow or longbow, any of the other bows you listed, specially a compound bow will be very very hard to make in comparison.
