This bow is not tempted enough! In fact, he carefully avoided letting us see the moment he holds it out, which was the most important thing. The truth is, metal is not a good material for a bow.
Metal is fine for bows. Forged steel has been used for crossbow limbs for centuries. The problem with bows is a two-fold thing. 1) The ability and technique of the archer, and 2) The physics surrounding the bow. In order for a bow to achieve maximum force for the arrow's velocity, the bow must at least be drawn so that your fingers reach just behind the ear. A 3 inch draw like in the video is not really propelling the arrow very hard. Then the physics part. A well-made bow made out of yew and heartwood would probably outperform this bow in velocity because the limbs are lighter, and therefore the spring mechanics of the bow limbs will snap back faster, propelling the arrow at a faster velocity. The metal bow does have 1 major advantage: raw power. A metal bow could fire arrows that are probably about twice the weight of a normal arrow without hardly any loss of inertia. Which is why crossbow quarrels are shorter, but about twice the weight of a normal arrow. This in turn gives the quarrel more penetration because heavier projectiles will hit harder. I would like to see a properly trained longbow archer try this bow with an arrow that is effectively a long crossbow quarrel. I think it would be fascinating to see this bow perform at its peak. But also, you don't want to temper the steel too much. If you temper the steel too far, the metal will simply bend and not "snap" back to its original shape. It'd be like bending a large paperclip. It may not happen the first few shots, but eventually with soft metal, it'll stop snapping as quickly. On the other hand, if the steel is too hard, it'll be brittle and could snap with the draw weight. It needs to be balanced somewhere in the middle, probably a hair on the harder side for longevity.
A couple things. You need a better way to secure that railroad track since in doing so will allow more kinetic energy to go into the steel and youll be able to move it easier. Number 2, get a 72 inch grinder I promise its a life saver rather than using that small grinder.
I normally like these videos but sorry not this one for one reason: fire safety. At the beginning you have an open fire and we can see greenery right next to it. There should be some space between firepit and the greenery so no sparks can jump from the pit to the plants. As someone who's been through a fire, I can't support this. I'm skipping. Hopefully I'll have better luck on enjoying next video
Я лет в 7-мь из ивы или толстого куста сирени и то эффективнее и дальнобойней луки делал. Но за старание 5+(высший балл в русской системе баллов) тебе поставлю.
Неплохая игрушка получилась! Эффективность спорная, но выглядит круто
I would love to have one of the bows you make
Muy lindo tu arco ,te felicito .
mágico esse cara ....parabens ficou top esse arco ...
Cool bow now make a mini crossbow 👍
Another great video. 👍👍

Very nic
Your address me
thanks friend for the amazing project,
i have a question
what is the thickness of the bar steel after forging?
A couple things. You need a better way to secure that railroad track since in doing so will allow more kinetic energy to go into the steel and youll be able to move it easier. Number 2, get a 72 inch grinder I promise its a life saver rather than using that small grinder.
Very good job
if you properly secure the anvil it helps a lot, this is from experiance
(by help i mean tranfers more energy into the metal rather than the log)
great video
Good
А тот кованый лук можно сургучём ну и заземление, не заземление:::
What is the arrow making wood name ????

Very bad and weak bow..!
It was prolly made for just looks not to actually shoot
@@dakotataylor2446
So why you shot whit that..?
You did hard work on this bow just for looks..!😐😐😞😞
make something useable.!
За производство оружия и наказать можно
