Making and Maintenance of Ancient Bows and Arrows

It is not illegal to make bows and arrows, but mechanical launchers such as crossbows and crossbows are controlled items. If the fine is light, turn off the small black room to check the water meter.

Make traditional bows and arrows in Baidu Post Bar, and observe the quality attached tutorial.

A treasure has materials, ordinary glass bow, DIY 100 or so, and the finished product is about 300.

Laminated DIY is not easy to bow, and the purchase of finished products is not high. The lowest price is 450 500 650 1000.

No maintenance.

Main points for attention:

1. Don't leave it blank.

Empty release refers to pulling and releasing the string without taking an arrow, so that empty release will transfer all the force to the bow arm, and the bow arm will crack, open the glue or other hidden dangers when it can't bear the force.

2. Don't overstretch (beyond the specified distance)

Every bow has its safe pulling range. If the pulling distance exceeds the safe pulling distance range of the bow when it is used, it will lead to the consequences of glue opening and cracking of the bow, which may cause harm to the bow and the user, and even be dangerous. So when using it, remember not to exceed the distance. Novice friends who need special attention, most novice friends are used to winding the bow and pulling it hard to see how big it can be pulled. At this time, we should pay attention to the problem of overstretching.

Don't twist

Winding usually occurs in the process of winding up and down. Incorrect winding methods or habits can lead to winding. For example, if the vertical force is insufficient when winding, the bow arm will be twisted by breaking the bow tip to "reach" the bow arm. This is the easiest to distort, which will cause distortion and deflection to a lesser extent, and even crack the bow arm in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to form a good habit after winding, check whether the bowstring is in the middle line of the bow arm, adjust it to the middle if it deviates, and then use it.

4. Don't wind it for a long time.

Don't wind the bow for a long time, which means try not to wind it for a long time. It is best to wind it after each use. Especially in recurve bow. Because if there is no lower chord after use, and the bow string is not in the chord groove or midline position, the bow will slowly twist the tip for a long time, and the longer the time, the more serious the distortion will be, which will eventually cause damage to the bow.

Avoid high temperature

When storing bows and arrows, avoid high temperature and sunlight. It should be noted that when the weather is hot, don't put the bow in the car. If the temperature inside the car is too high, it is easy to cause problems such as glue opening and tip deviation.
