Home Made Bow and Arrows

The bow in this photo was originally a reject during some experimental bow making that happened a few years ago. I found it in my wood scrap heap the other day and added some nylon twine to make a fairly decent archery bow. We needed arrows so we cut some Maple branches and whittled them down. We added some wing feathers that we found in the yard and they turned out to be fairly decent arrows.

Here's proof that even the Wee One can handle the bow and arrow. She struggled at first but eventually was able to shoot the arrow about thirty yards and make it stick into the ground.
