Yup, that was me. I created a thread a while back about how to build a traditional Choctaw bow and arrows but I deleted it due to lack of interest and I really didn't like the way I put it together. It's just really hard to convey how to do this sort of primitive work without video and I'm not into posting videos of myself. I'm kind of shy like that I guess.Originally Posted by Lucas
Below are a couple of links with basic instructions to get you started. Honestly, I'd recommend buying a commercial long bow to get you into the sport and then make one of these on the side. Once you make your own you'll never go back but it may take you several tries to get it just right so you'll wan't to have something to play with while you learn the art.
