Best Survival Bow And Arrow Design

Bow making:
Dry wood you can use right away as soon as the bow is made, wet wood needs to dry for a year.
Stick that is as long as the distance from fingertip to finger tip if you hold your arms out in opposite directions.
And a stick which has the least amounts of knots in it, that you can find.
Cut string knocks on each end (notches for string to fit in)
Use half hitches to secure the rope firmly to the bow.
Scrape off excess shavings from thick parts of bow in order for the bow to bend evenly called “floor tillering”




This is a first design at a homemade survival arrow, and it goes with a homemade survival bow (See this video clip). Using a bow and arrow you can fish (may have a string attached to one end of arrow, such as fishing line), and you can hunt small animals, and birds or reptiles. The above design still has to be tested. I will do an update to this once I have tested it.
Reinforcing the bow string platform on the back of the arrow with more string is called "whipping the arrow" so that it won't split the back of the arrow in 2 from the pressure created from a full draw. This can either be using a constrictor knot or any other way of tightly wrapping string around the back of the arrow. Also this is when you would add feathers for stabilization if the arrow didn't already fly true enough. But when fishing with a bow and arrow, you don't need to have extreme long distance accuracy.
