Composite bows are created by laminating horn strips, wood, and sinew together using glue made from hide, tendon, or fish bladder. They can bend much further than wooden bows and are less prone to breakage. These bows have been used for thousands of years for various purposes, including hunting, sport, warfare, and ceremonies, throughout the Afro-Eurasian region.
This book provides instructions on how to make composite bows applied to two specific bow designs, as well as covering every critical aspect of their design and how it affects their manufacturing and functionality. It is aimed at both beginner bowyers who want to build their first composite bows and archers who wish to improve their understanding of their equipment. With over 100 photos and illustrations, the book focuses on the technical aspects of bow-making, helping readers to build and understand the different designs of composite bows used throughout history.
