Home.

Collapsible bow includes in its structure two arms, which are attached to both sides of the handle with the nuts. On the handle should be two flat surfaces for fixing the shoulders, place the grip arm and shelf-cutout for the passage of the boom. The handle must not bend, so if you want to have a powerful bow (with a tension of more than 20 kg)
It makes sense to do a composite handle (washed down for his second bow).

Handle.
Since this is my first bow, I decided not to fool with a composite handle and drank it from a fairly thick (9 cm.) Board.
Since jigsaw temporarily absent, he had pokoryachitsya with "alternative" notch.

Rough handle with shelf



Shoulders.
For the shoulders I decided to use skis that were grazing in the field of the attic for a couple of decades. Now is their time.
Saw off the rough - slightly longer handle
You do not need to shoulder was too long, otherwise the power will fall bow. This is especially true for cross-country skiing, as they are less stringent. The ideal option for ski archery - mountain - a composite sandwich of plastic, carbon fiber and wood.

SKINS.
The paint is completely refused to get off. Sandpaper size 40 impotently crawl on lacquer. After 15 minutes of nail polish she fell over and it proved to be a staunch coat of paint. I have already begun to figure in mind - who can shoot sander ....
One ski rubbed down, left to spend another 30-40 minutes for the second ...



Painting.
For painting I used the Universal Yachting enamel and varnish for the final coat



So I decided to make a couple of cliches to the bow was not takm unprepossessing
Putting the bow, we measure the length of the string of future

Paint the hilt and shoulders

While the onion drying, do bow
Bowstring and I did a double waxed thread tripling hinged.
Cobble together just such Pribluda



And narkuchivaem basis of waxed thread



Then we entwine our future hinges nylon thread
Do not also forget promazyvat thread, otherwise the winding will "ride».
We cover parts through an hour a second layer of paint and entwine itself string.



You can certainly not ALL braid string - just braid 12-15 centimeters in the middle, but then as the saying goes, "an amateur».
I decided to do a braid outdoors.



the other end

I apologize for putting some speed, it seems my provider today is not in the mood



To avoid sagging of the string I cut from an old bicycle inner tube piece width of a few centimeters, which would keep the thread taut



We close up loop, and starting with this region, and leave 20 cm thread on the safe



Entwine.
Periodically, you can tighten up the thread, giving it a rounded shape



Finishing line
Do not forget the glue.

So I whipped up a stall, because if we make the right bow, then shoot it correctly. A specific method of restraint is called string Mediterranean

The administration checks the quality of the string



And why not glue the fish?
