Clay Hayes Hunter Building a Osage Recurve Bow

This week, my eldest son Coye is building his own Osage recurve bow. He had outgrown his last traditional bow and, with a few bowhunting trips to come, he needed a new one. It shows you how to build your own bow from start to finish, from tillering and notching to shooting your new bow.

Building a wooden bow from a stave isn’t difficult, it just takes a little practice. We’re about to set off on a hog hunt, and the two kids will have their bows and arrows with them. With a bit of luck!

We make the best traditional archery, bow making, recurve hunting, craftsmanship and survival videos on the web.

Join Clay, Liz and the kids on their outdoor adventures, from bowhunting deer and elk in the mountains of Idaho to hunting wild hogs in Florida, and practicing crafts and survival skills. We hunt and fish because we love it, but it’s also how we get most of our meat.

Hunting is our way of life. We also cultivate a large garden on our Idaho property. This, combined with hunting, fishing and gathering, is how we obtain most of our food.
