Building Bows & Arrow – The Secrets & Science Vol.3

The Secrets & Science of Building Bows & Arrows is the 3rd volume in the Secrets & Science Collection. This 325 page full-color book covers the specific building of primitive bows and arrows in an easy to follow step by step guide. It pairs very well with Vol. 1 The Secrets & Science of Primitive Archery that focuses more on the whole package of primitive archery but less specifically on the build. Read all about what’s on the back of the book! A step by step guide to building your first bow from a stave of Hickory. Each step concisely walks you through crafting a Traditional Cherokee-Inspired bow with clear instruction and color photographs. When you’re ready for a deeper dive, the book picks up on a second build from a stave of Snakey Osage Orange. The Build Your BEST Bow section includes more nuanced techniques in another step by step guide. It covers making recurves, heat corrections, tip overlays, and much more! The Arrow Building sections walk you through building arrows from natural materials (Hardwood & Rivercane), utilizing natural materials such as turkey feathers, sinew, and pine pitch glue. There are examples of purely stone age builds, while the build primarily focuses on natural materials with a modern twist to make the job easier for the folks at home. There are many specialized chapters excerpted from Volume 1, The Secrets & Science of Primitive Archery. While Vol. 1 focuses a lot on the Science of Primitive archery, this book highlights the Secrets of Building Bows & Arrows. Note: This book is more expensive than the other books in the Secrets & Science collection because it is printed in Full-Color for much better instruction. Color printing incurs higher printing costs.
