Teaching Design of Traditional Single Bow Making

How many kinds of ancient long-range attack weapon bows do you know?

Does single bow also want to hunt like ancestors? Please take out your bow and arrow first. The ancestors of China first invented bows and arrows, because the earliest arrow clusters were found in Chinese mainland. In this way, indigenous people all over the world later used bows and arrows, thus improving the hand-throwing spear and spear throwing device.

But perhaps not what you think, the bow is not actually a primitive weapon. It is a complex tool formed by unrelated objects combined with human wisdom. Of course, modern compound bows integrate all kinds of high-tech and new technologies.

South American Indians made bows and arrows with a single bow, an elastic branch, a bow line, a small wooden stick, some bird hair, some glue collected from plants and a few sharp stone fragments. Before guns appeared, bows and arrows were the most deadly long-range weapons.

Let's take a closer look at the following bows used by archers today: single bow: the bow arm is made of a whole piece of material, usually hard and elastic wood, so it is called a single bow. It is the oldest and most traditional bow.

Japanese monogamous bow is also a kind of longbow. The length of a standard Kazuo bow is about 2.2 meters (7 feet 3 inches). Longbows can shoot wild boar and wild animals. Recurve bow: Because of its name, it can be guessed that its bow arm is curved, which is more powerful than the flat arm bow. Recurve bow can be a single bow with the end of the bow arm bent, or a composite bow made of various materials by bonding and pressing.

Compound bow: Compound bow is a miracle of modern engineering design. It uses glass fiber or alloy material to make bow arm, and uses pulley system to accumulate more energy. Although the appearance is complicated, it is labor-saving and light to the touch when the bow is full. Compared with other bows, it is the longest and most accurate bow and the most widely used hunting bow at present.
