How to Build a Hunting Bow

Last Updated: November 9, 2019 By Cheeky Team Member

Building your own hunting bow can be a very fun activity for all ages to partake in. Find a hardwood sapling that’s good quality and about five or six feet in length. When you’ve found an appropriate branch, make sure the belly of the bow will be strong enough to stay intact under tension and shape your bow so it bends evenly on top and bottom. Find a material that will not stretch out too much, then use it as a bowstring. Similarly, use foraged materials to make arrows.

Key Takeaways:

  • Constructing a hunting bow with your children is a great way to get them interested in the sport.
  • You can purchase the materials you need for your bow at your local lumber dealer.
  • Twine, nylon rope, or sinew can be used to string the line of your bow.

“And constructing your own bow and arrow is a great family activity for even for the very young.”
