Bow Making
Bow Making
You don’t need to be a carpenter to make a bow. Our easy bow making class will show you exactly how to make an all-wood self-bow from a flexible tree sapling and how to get it ready to shoot in just a few hours, using only a knife and a few common tools. We’ll also make arrows in the class, show you how to fletch them with feathers and we’ll even do some target practice.
And the best part is - you get to go home with the bow and arrow you made.
Bowmaking will be held July 20th, 2025
