Step 30: Bow Made from Skis
Back in the dim pre-history of the mid nineties. My friend Rhett Creighton said he wanted a bow.
I lashed a pair of cross-country skis together with a bike innertube and tied loops in a kitesurf line for a bowstring and handed it to him. He liked it so much he used it in his archery class.
Here Analog Roz demonstrates the pull.
