Making a Bow from Scratch | Live Free or Die

I think I see one right through
hmm
close call there just not shooting fast
enough I’m not being very productive in
getting small games but I need the food
so it’s pretty important that I’m able
to do some successful rabbit hunting I’m
going to stay in this area super high in
protein vitamins and minerals rapidly
became popular during the Great
Depression when American families began
raising their own meat to survive these
lean years today commercially sold
rabbit goes for about 6 dollars a pound
about four times the price of chicken I
feel like I’m more accurate with a bow
and arrow so if I can get a bow made
maybe that’ll give me an edge that will
let me make those difficult shots
basically just using a hatchet a knife
and so not having modern tools does make
it more challenging there goes this is
going to be a pretty basic simple bow
and I’m just trying to get something
that’s functional it looks pretty good
for coming out of a log earlier
I have more invested in this boat
working than just going out to shoot at
a target for fun so I’m really trying to
do everything I know how to do to make
sure that it’s successful I’ve got this
string that I’ve carried with me this
whole way I’m gonna call that good for
now hopefully as it dries out it’ll
stiffen up a little bit need to make
some arrows this is the arrow shafts I
harvested the other day I think I’m
gonna try to do three feather fletching
on the arrow the three feathers seem to
fly a little better so it’s not too
pretty but I got them on there I’m gonna
use some pine pitch glue to kind of
cement the ends down help it stay in
place looks pretty good I’ll see how it
flies
time to go huntin
