Maybe at some point there ought to be a worldwide mini-bow trade to keep post costs do-able.

Cadet, I spent less than 30 bucks last year on my bow trade. I'm in Missouri, if your accross the pond, maybe there could be a fund raiser to help you out.

Take downs are cheaper to ship as well.

Very well said Rich. That's what the standard Primitive Archer Bow Trades have been all about. Looking forward to seeing some excited new bowyers join in. What a chance for everyone, to learn...and teach.

I'd like to give it a try. I only have about 5 bows under my belt but I think I could make a decent one.

Victoria, SE Australia; I tend to play with longbows; getting a 6' bow safely and reasonably from here to there would be a fair effort!
-
Yes, please do come and join us!
I know there are lots of really good looking wooden staves being posted right now by people in that exchange, but don't let that scare you away if you've never made a selfbow (or sinew backed bow) before. I can't speak for the others, and I certainly can't speak for myself when it comes to making bows, but like all things in life, we all started off without much knowledge of anything. However, if you take the time and effort to make something you're comfortable with and can make it good, I'm sure the more experienced guys in the trade will appreciate the effort you put into your bow!

I'm on board!
