Bow making - Making a rawhide backed plains bow

In this video I make a Native American Plains style bow. I am  so pleased with how it turned out, it was a super fun project to make and it is really fun to shoot. The bow is made of elm and is backed with deer rawhide. The handle is made of an old wool blanket and a piece of leather and the tips are wrapped in artificial sinew. It has a draw weight of 60 pounds at 19 inches and the bowstring is made of Dacron b-50. I hope you will enjoy the video, subscribe and leave a comment if you do!
