BOW MAKING VOLUME 2 Bow Backing These five volumes are packed with articles describing the attributes and challenges of different styles and different techniques and equipment used in making 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
