Making a tiny bow isn't too difficult. This is a small 60 cm maple bow with an imperfect tiller but still shoots decent as a toy. Recommend just taking a small scrap of wood and giving it a shot:)

Saw the competition posted a while ago. I do want to shoot more 3Ds but haven't had much time and need to make more arrows

Hopefully, trains still allow me to get to kyudo 🫠

It shoots pretty good #archery

Now to prep the actual birch bark #archery #bowyer

Thanks for the link! My personal interest is more into the bow aspect but would love to make matching arrows.

Yes they are, for my current project I got to handle th Egyptian bow but not the arrows. So i dont have any further quality photos of them. But the arrows are about 80-90cm long, 20-30cm are the hardwood foreshaft and the rest is the reed/cane, with the arrow nock on the node.

It's kind of funny, I am in the process of studying and replicating Egyptian bow (est. 1600-1500bc) in the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. The arrows are indeed Reed with a hardwood foreshaft and sometimes still have the flint arrowhead. More info on materials: doi.org/10.2307/3821...
