Introduction: How to Make a Survival Bow and Arrow
this bow is much easier to make and use than a regular bow. if you are stranded in the jungle, this is how u will get your food. bamboo works well also if you can get some. and PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT
Step 1: Materials
1 axe/chopper thing
2 paracord or rope
3 four 0.5 inch straight sticks/bamboo
4 kite string( i will explain later)
5 and a partridge in a pair tree
Step 2: Woodworks
take your sticks (no taller than you are) and arange them so they alternate thicker ends (see picture)
see, easy
Step 3: Knotting It Together
you can skip this step if you use twist ties but you wont have those in the wild and paracord gives a nicer look
I came up with these combination of knots
put them on the ends, near the handle, and in-between. (see pic)
to tie the knot:
1 start with a clove hitch (see pic)
2 flip over and tie a shoestring knot/ simple knot
3 flip over and tie a shoestring knot/ simple knot
4 flip over and tie a simple knot with a extra twist and then another simple knot
Step 4: Making the String
KITE STRING:
i use it because it is
thin
strong
will not stretch over time(i think)
has a ring to it when the arrow flies
take your kite string and tie a loop on the end by
splicing it(see pics)
or doing a slip knot from:
https://www.instructables.com/id/How_to_Tie_a_Slip_Knot/
the string should be 4 in shorter than the bow
so tie another slip knot on the other end of the string
Step 5: The Arrow(s)
whittle the other end with a small notch
take a sheet of paper and roll it into a cone,staple, cut the tip and the end so it looks a good size
slide stick into it so it to the end
staple to stick
tie thread above staple
i stiched a handle on mine from this video
Step 6: The Finale
i do not know why most people have a final step but im using mine to show you how to sting the bow...... just slip 1 of the loops over 2 of the bundled sticks on top
and bend the bow until the string nocks over 2 of the top sticks
STRING MUST BE 4 INCHES SHORTER THAN BOW
