Does anyone here make survival bows? I make some, whenever im in the woods and im not aloud to bring my real bow into the woods to hunt. The wood I use is freshly cut green wood. I have it about 3/4 of an inch thick and usually about 60 inches long or less. I make shure the bow "stick" has no small knots or limbs on it, and is perfectly strait. Then I simply bend the bow and string it up. This bow is alot faster to make then a dry wood survival bow, just in case you dont have a knife to shape it. Although the arrow has a sluggish cast and the bow a weak draw weight, im almost certain it can kill small fish, frogs, small birds, maybe a Rabbit or Squirrel. It has an effective range of about 15 feet or less so if you hunt with it you have to get pretty close to the prey.The arrow is traveling at probally 50-60 MPH. slow, but a good enough speed for an arrow to reach it's target at close range without the chance of prey dodging the arrow. My bows only last about a week worths of hunting before it loses its spring, but making a new one shouldn't even be a problem. The reason why I make green wood bows is becasue I do not know how to do the tillering on a dry wood bow. So I guess I took the shortcut way.
