Title: All bamboo bow to shot arrows and stones
Post by: Elison on November 16, 2021, 08:10:36 AM
Hi guys!

Yeah...  Go easy on me again. But I did that.
I made an all bamboo bow ( a penobscot pellet bow) to use with stone and arrows.
Hope you like.  :laugh:

Here the video:

Nice bow. I enjoyed watching the video.
How does the stone not hit the bow without the string being offset?

Thanks!  :laugh: There's a techique to shot. You need to turn the bow handle and the string a litle bit, so when you release the stone goes to the side of the handle.  ;)
