70 pounds longbow difficult material
« on: December 31, 2021, 04:25:28 am »
hello my name is dai zhi gang, im not good english. I use translation.
I started my self-study in archery making in 2016. I read a lot of works of predecessors from the Internet. Thank you predecessors for their selfless dedication, allowing me to continuously improve my production skills. There are not many selfbow bow producers in China. I was the first batch to start making selfbows. This craft has been lost in China. There is no teacher to teach me, so I can only learn by myself.After getting to know Liye in 2018, we have a lot in common and i am very good friend with Liye. I also Like difficult materials. i gain experience in my past archery bow making failures. The road of groping by myself is very difficult. But im happy to know this web page. Now liye and me are partners, making bamboo and wood bows together. In the future, if there are better bows, i will continue to issue them.  this archery bow is 70 pounds draw.
Finally, thank you all for your support to my bows.
Nice to meet you.
thank you

That’s a really nice looking bow. Lots of character. Nice antler tip overlays and tiller. Great job!
