was that a heated anvel?

Hey Dave. I've got a great suggestion to improve the longevity of these bows. A suggestion that will help to prevent set. If you use another bamboo slat that's fully tempered on both the inside of the bamboo and rind side of the bamboo. If tempered well. Then if this bamboo is used as the belly and a thinner bamboo slat is used as the back. Then the rind side of the bamboo Wil combat compression and the rind side of the bamboo is good under tension as the back of the bow. So then the back and belly should just be made thinner. It might not change the efficiency or it might..maybe it will be more springy because the wood can be made thinner. But the positive is that the bow will last, because you won't get that crushing of the fibres under compression..even if heat treated as one single piece of wood. It will still loose its efficiency. Just a suggestion that I'm about to try out. Have you perhaps tried this out before?

Hi Dave. May I ask. How long does your bows keep up when made like this. Does it take set? Do you heat treat the belly side at all to prevent the bow from taking set?

Its mind blowing how everyone criticing you. I think this is awesome and you did a great job. I been thinking of making a bow out of trees nearby and this is a great idea. I learned few minutes before this that there's a tribe in Africa called the Hadzabe Tribe that does this. This stuff is so cool. I hope i can learn it myself

I made a spear 2 weeks back and another last weekend,....with a zizz wheel for cutting them out. Now I see they make 1/16 zizz wheels for angle grinders,....but I do use the stone wheel to edge the blades. I clamp 1/4 inch steel to the blade then edge them and both sides look the same nice and neat after about 8 passes per edge then their sharp. I use vise grips and clamp 1/4 steel as a cutting guide so they are cut exactly where they need to be cut. I put the vise grips in the vice and cut my blades out. And you can never make enough projectile points.

The archery industry is a fleecing machine,......unless you make it your self you might go broke. I'd go to a farm store and get a strip of steal about 1/16 X the width you might need,....I usually use circular saw blades for arrow and spear tip's. The softer the steel the easier it is to make and yes for arrows soft steel works fine,....to heat treat them just put them on your electric burner and cook on top of them,.......boiling water for tea or cooking,....high------------spaced down to warm over a long period will change the metals characteristic's.

Dang this is more exciting than olympics archery contest.

@Mead Longbows Love these videos, just got a camanche style bow yesterday, im curious, what length arrows do you use with it? anything special about them?

You are too primitive man

Can 40 lb bow kill a black bear, wolf, wild pig?

nice bow i like the way how the bow recurve i wish have one of your bow sir, i only make bamboo bow but not quite good enough

This was interesting. Been making longbows for a while and recently started making asiatic bows with siyhas and was thinking about a longbow with integral siyha just yesterday and your video pops up. Nothing new under the sun as the big book says

I like your other videos but the premise of this video is false as you have pre-made the string and fletches at home.

How did you made that bow rope, is that a kind of paper?

Just found your channel! Good stuff. Started to make bow staves and thinkin Comanche is going to be the first one made. Learning flint knapping as well. Something tells me we may need to be proficient in the old ways sooner than later brother and sisters. Thank you for the wealth of knowledge 🙏✌️♥️🌍🇺🇲 ** I made this comment with about 4min left in the video. Great minds think alike i suppose 😂

i thought "Opa passed away

Thank You 😊 Great Video I appreciate your insights and video Footage 🎥

Were the commands she the only tribes to have used this style of bows and arrows

Great stuff. Also I wonder what is the optimal material for the bow? What kind of wood would work best? And can I use pine wood and bamboo? (They are the most available wood materials in my place) And also what kind of string should I use? Could it be normal rope and polypropylene rope?

love comanche style!

❤

My biggest problem is the sinew string…how much material where to get etc any help with advice for that?

Dudes a beast shooting bow an arrows 😮😊

Nvm I just bought one.

Does he sell these bows?

Fast!

Thank you for sharing this technique! So simple and yet so fun and effective!

That's impressive

What type of wood ?

Your skill is amazing! How long did it take you to perfect it?

Wow! Thats freakin AWESOME!

WOW! Thats badass how you can fling multiple arrows in quick succession like that! You got a sub out of me! AND from the comment above… I’ll DEFINITELY have to go check out your website and see what workshops you have put up on it! THANK YOU for your time and effort sir! AND for trying to keep a slice of Native American know how alive!

Good editing, made it look really fast.

Doing that from a horse must have taken a lifer to master

✌😎✌

👍

Thank you for the many gifts you share and community you curate. The how to workshops on the website look fantastic!

Thank you very much! Your help is deeply appreciated!

Is it hog skin?. Raw hide from pig, or intestine?. You have said all 3

Real John Wick Vibes !

Made 3 so far now last one I heated in an oven before placing the string definitely made a huge difference for draw strength

Awesome video! I’ll be trying to make my own bow tomorrow!

Ok. I've been trying to do drill 1for a couple of hours. Only problem is if I'm not looking I can't tell which way round the cock feather goes. Do you have 2 feathers or 3?

Is Part 2 still in the works? Eager anticipation is killing me.

How come you don't create a line of Comanche knocks to Install to commercial arrows or do the already have that sorry I'm from the country

so does this mean you aren't making your other bows?

This gentleman is so funny. L O L he’s kind of like a dog that’s just sitting on the lawn and all of a sudden a squirrel goes by and his attention reflectively changes. L O L and that’s perfectly fine when you’re not making a video. Lol.
