“How-to” Construct The Asiatic Composite Bow

The bow that shot arrows over one half a mile – 200 years ago. Wilderness skills expert John McPherson teams up with physicist Jeffrey Schmidt to take you step by step thru the workings and construction of the Asiatic Composite bow. Unlike the self, or all wood bow, the composite bow is a laminate of layers. Jeff has made a number of these bows of most of the cultures that used them gaining experience at each build. He went so far as to learn Arabic so that he could read literature about the secrets behind this weapon that many left untranslated. This DVD begins by explaining to you, the viewer, the physics behind what makes this bow so exceptional. What follows is an in-depth, “how-to” on the materials and tools needed, the components (what, why and how to make ’em) and of course the putting it all together by bullding one of these masterpieces. This DVD, like all of McPherson’s instructional materials, is not put together for simple entertainment but for serious “how-to”. You will come away from this with an understanding of how to Construct the Asiatic Composite Bow. Peerless performance from an all natural material bow.
