bow made with only a knife...
« on: March 11, 2010, 01:13:02 pm »
i taught a "survival" bow class last weekend for a great bunch of guys and gals.
during the whole process, i  only used a knife ,some cordage and an arrow i made on site!
all of this took place within an hour and 15 min!!!!
from living tree to me shooting into the target.
not too "primitive" but i think you will enjoy the videos.

Ok, I have to say, i'm just about done watching the first vid, and this is fascinating! 

I'm very interested in outdoor survival stuff, and this is top notch.

Cool stuff, Jamie =)

...thank you all.
yes it was "green" but i wanted to show that it could be done...not the prettiest of bows, but it worked,quite well.
it had been some time since ive made a bow with just a knife it was challenging for me.
...i will post my next series of traps and snaring in the other forum on the site when i finish teaching the class.
i think you will enjoy that as well.

After watching those great videos, I feel like I should pay you. That much information usually isn't free. That was great! Thank you.
