Hickory wood is the best for a bow. You can bend it double without breaking.

The Indians used hickory.

What kind of knot is that for the paracord???

[SpecificLove]

Just a simple doubleknot made real tight. It can sometimes loose up and I have to retighten.

how long does it take to make roughly for a first timer?

If you are good with your hands, less than an hour if you have everything in the video.

Thanks, I might try pipe insulation instead of a paperclip

[SpecificLove]

Sounds like a plan

[Samman1014]

Why do you have to cut the smaller pieces

[SpecificLove]

I cut them so they would be easier to slide inside the larger pipe.

I made a bow just like this. They are better than some bows you can buy at cabelas.
