Pleasure of The Process by John Sturtevant-Volume 9, Issue 2
“Many of us with an interest in what has been called “primitive” or “natural” archery are attracted to simple things- things that aren’t superficial and don’t have a lot of “bells and whistles.” We enjoy these things instead of buying them. Many of us enjoy making everything we use as we pursue our interests, be they for hunting or targets. This doesn’t mean we won’t use or appreciate items made by others, but sometimes they don’t hold the same meaning as things we’ve crafted ourselves. I think many times some of us enjoy the process of making all these wonderful things as much or more than actually having them or using them.” By John Sturtevant “I was first drawn to cane as a bow grip because I was searching for a grip that was sweat proof, waterproof, low maintenance, and would provide a firm gripping surface. Rubber sleves were out because the aesthetics of them were not appealing. I first saw rattan used as a grip on the cover of The Traditional Bowyer’s Bible, Vol. 3, and I first used rattan, or cane, as a grip on my lemonwood composite bow (Primitive Archer Magazine, Feb/Mar 2007). I thought I would write some detailed instructions on how to apply a cane grip to a bow.” By Jonathan Hall “So, get ready and we’ll build a knife or two that will razzle dazzle all your friends, regardless of your skill set, or what your current economic situation may be. You can add your own twist as imagination allows. Here’s how.” By Bill Priest

Golden Treasure Series – Bow Making Volume 4 Longbows and War Bows

$16.99

Bow Making Volume 4 Longbows and War Bows These five volumes are packed with articles describing the attributes and challenges of different styles and different techniques and equipment used in making bows. Many of the articles take the reader step by step, with numbered photos, all the way through to the finished bow. Other articles focus on special challenges such as utilizing a variety of bow backing materials, and building horn bows, longbows and war bows. These five volumes are part of a series of such collections compiled into books and volumes that comprise the “Primitive Archer Golden Treasure Series”. “Although we can never return to the days when wild Native Americans roamed free over endless prairies, we can at least touch a fragment of their lost way of life by recreating and using their weapons exactly as they did during those times.” By Billy Berger “This article covers the way I make bows. There are many bowyers, with many methods, often different than those outlined here. Books and videos are readily available, and I encourage you to get them all. The more you learn, the easier bow making becomes. By necessity I could not cover every aspect of bow making in this article- that would take a book – but hopefully I have armed you with enough knowledge that you are able to turn a piece of wood into a bow.” By Mickey Lotz “The entire issue of how wooden bows break in, and what can be done to prevent problems, is a study in how stress can affect a wooden bow. My goal here is to offer some specific examples of stress-related phenomena that others can consider as they develop or refine their own methods." By Paul Comstock
