Step 1: Stock
this is the stock or handle of the bow. most of it is symmetrical.
Step 2: Limb Connecters
the parts that connect the limbs to the stock. the most important part.
Step 3: Limbs
the limbs of the bow. i would recommed either using all grey rods for more power. dont mix black rods with grey rods cos it will make it deform.
Step 4: Limb Wheels
the pulley system wheels at the end of the limbs.
Step 5: Arrow Guide
the arrow guide and string separater. i would recommend using wooden kebab sticks for the arrows instead of grey/black rods.
Step 6: The Bow String
this part will tell you about the bow string. have alook back at the arrow guide pictures to see the positioning of the string on the the arrow guide.
