A bow is one of the oldest and coolest natural tools that humans have ever created! In this class we will teach you how to craft a quick and powerful bow using local abundant tree species, using nothing but a good quality outdoor knife and a hatchet. In just a matter of hours you will take a raw freshly cut sapling and turn it into an arrow shooting machine. We hope you join us at this super fun and informative class. 

 

The class will cover:

• Proper selection and harvesting of staves

• New methods for getting the most out of your camp knife

• Stave reduction and basic bow tillering

• Methods for stringing your new bow

• Basic instinctive archery shooting techniques
