Many archers and bowhunters are surprised to learn that a wood bow, whose ancestry dates back thousands of years, will shoot an arrow as effectively as most modern bows. Never before have such detailed instructions been available to the home craftsman on how to bring such history alive. The authors reveal their techniques with ample history, humor, and practical advice. Volume Four covers Bow Woods, Heat-Treating Bows, The Mass Principal, Design and Performance Revisited, and much more.
