Clay Hayes Hunter Construction of the Hickory Self Bow

Clay Hayes Hunter Hickory Bow Building SelfHickory bow building is a great way to enter the world of bow making and primitive archery. Hickory is an excellent bow wood for beginners because it’s easy to find, strong as nails and you don’t have to wait for it to dry before starting to work on the bow. In this video, we’ll build a short, flat paddle bow. It folds through the handle and pulls 45lbs at 26 inches. Even if you don’t plan to hunt with a bow, knowing how to make a primitive bow is a valuable and fun survival skill. Don’t forget to subscribe to our channel.
