Re: A bow!
Awesome! That looks really cool. 
I bet your parents aren't too happy about it functioning well.
But if there's ever an apocalypse you might be prepared!

That's epic. I really want to take archery, but there really aren't very many lessons up here. D:

Re: A bow!
Funny, in about two hours starts my first archery class. I once made a wooden bow with a wool string, but it only shot about 5 meters and eventually broke, lol.
Making the arrow isn't that hard, though making a functional tip is something I haven't figured out yet.

Just take some metal and grind it to a point.

Re: A bow!
Nice At first I thought you meant the knot and was confused XD
It sounds awesome- I wish I could do archery (though I would probably stink at it). The most I've done is make a bow out of a paper clip, tape, and several rubber bands. It went pretty far, though, considering scale (about 6 ft for 1 in arrows and 1 1/2 in bow). Plus I managed to chip my computer screen (by aiming directly at it for some reason).

I once ade a bamboo spear with feathers stuck in the back. At best, i could throw it about 80 meters! I have also made three clubs, a wooden dagger and a wooden sword. THEY ARE USEFUL! Oh, If it sounds like I'm bragging then I'm not.
I have actually taken classes with all of those lessons, and also can use kamas and Escrima Sticks

Oh, come now, it's obvious that if there's an Arts and Crafts discussion about I'd be lurking around.

Re: A bow!
I remember in 5th grade when I made a bow with a C-shaped piece of wood, a rubber band, and some duct tape. When the teachers asked me what it was, I told them that it was a 'music machine' and innocently plucked it, making a musical note.
Little did they know that my pocket was full of pencil cap erasers that I had notched with a pair of scissors. In the gymnasium, I secretly shot one 'arrow' with as much power as I could... BOOM! That thing hit someone right in the ankle from across the gym, and they fell over in pain. At that moment, I realized that I should probably stop making weapons in school before I got expelled.
Moral: 5th graders are not innocent.

Oh wow.
Just wow.
Making weapons in school is never a good idea.
However, I make weapons in school all the time.
I'm homeschooled
