How long is a 50-pound bow and arrow?

Shoot 50 meters horizontally and throw 200 meters accurately. Bow consists of elastic bow arm and flexible bow string; Arrows include arrows, shafts and feathers. The arrow is made of copper or iron. Most modern arrows are made of alloy, and the shaft is made of bamboo or wood. Modern arrows are mostly made of pure carbon or aluminum alloy, carved with feathers, eagles or goose feathers.

Elastic wood should be made of flexible materials with good elasticity and toughness. Generally, it is about 120 cm long, but it can be selected according to individual circumstances. Choose a bow handle suitable for your own use: put your right hand on your waist, hold one end of the elastic wood, lift the left hand hole stick forward obliquely and straighten it, hold the elastic wood, make a mark, and use this elastic wood as the bow handle, which will be very suitable in length. This can be used as a standard for the size of the bow.

The middle part of the bow handle is about 5 cm wide, and the two ends gradually narrow until 1.5 cm. Carve a groove about 1.25 cm from the tail of the handle to fix the bowstring. Peel off the bark first, cut the bow handle into a certain shape and coat it with grease.

It is ideal to use raw cowhide as bowstring. It can be cut into 3 mm wide ductile strips. Other kinds of ropes can also be used in an emergency. Old nettle skin is made of fine coarse fiber, which can be twisted into a strong bow rope. If the bow handle is very elastic, a relatively short bowstring may be needed. When the bowstring is fixed, the bow handle can only be slightly tightened. Only when the bow is pulled open can the bow handle be further bent and tightened, providing considerable elasticity.
