First things first: The right wood for bow making

Throughout history, numerous peoples on all continents have made their bows for hunting or fighting from different types of wood. In Europe, yew was popular for a long time, while bows were made from bamboo in Africa due to the geographical conditions. Nowadays, many bow makers rely on ash, as this type of wood is both heavy and impact resistant, making it suitable for both bow making and arrow making. It is important, however, to use stored wood. This is the reason why various ash blanks for the riser and limbs that you can buy at our store have been stored for at least three years. For the outer covering of the bow, laminates are glued on as well as various other accessories, which you can also get from us in a set. Special glue with high adhesive strength is suitable for gluing.
