Better than banding material which I used to use, if you have a sawmill around where you are, go there and ask for some broken band saw blades and they will usually give you some... Those are a tiny bit thicker than the banding but only a small fraction... They are also a high carbon spring steel material... Also they hold up a lot better...

Forgive me but isn't this the back of the bow, not the belly? It sure looks like compression fractures but the other side of the bow seems to look like a 'D' profile, so I'd assume that was the belly. Very unusual to have a D on the back of a bow isn't it? I'm only asking as I currently have an Engligh long bow with a significant compression split on the belly and it has split right through the belly laminate to the middle laminate. I have done a very similar fix to yours here. I didn't add in material, I just sanded flush, soaked in epoxy and then overlaid fiberglass cloth and then whipped with cord. Hopefully it does the job as my bow is 130lb @28" anmd I definitely don't want that blowing in my face. Thanks for the content. Always appreciated to see folks helping others fix their archery issues on the more traditional gear.

Ive looked for this info. For years In libraries. On the internet . Youre right. There is nothing written on it. I had given up looking for it. Just recently stumbled onto your videos. This is very valuable information. You are very generous & a very nice man to share this. A commanche probably wouldnt. Just like california vaqueros didnt share their knowledge. Only one wrote a book with that info. & he wants $300 for the book. Can i buy a quiver from you? My arrows are 21". I have a 46" commanche osage bow.

Is it possible to buy a quiver from you?

Currently starting quiver and bowcase project using cowhide (with hair), your videos have been very useful, and interesting, TY. 👍

Good stuff man 😎👍🔥💯🏹

I hope you don't get splinters from them carbon arrows. I've heard they can't get them out .

This is what I was wanting. Thank you!

What breeding is that paint? Do you sell those quivers?

I can't understand what you are saying

When I see you walk up to your horse & he automatically puts down his head so you can put the reigns over his head, I know I want to learn from you

What is your name? I lose your videos _ can't find them because I don't know your name

Use transcript

Have you ever been doing that half draw, quarter draw snap shooting and an anoint middle aged self appointed instructor tell you that's not how to shoot....

I guess you may have read it, but your channel reminds me of a book "The Byerley Turk" about a horse and his keeper, who is an archer

Glad I found your channel. I cut a point from a barrel band this morning - ended up using a roto-zip (jumbo dremel) with a cutting wheel - I will try snips next time. Curious of your point weight and total arrow weight, and I guess typical bow poundage for when you hunt?

Very cool! I shoot a Korean traditional bow. I use carbon but really want some wood or bamboo arrows. I like the way they shoot, different. I would rather build when I can afford to. So if I can save money AND get better performance, I'm ALL IN! New sub! Thank you, sir!

Drawing a selfbow that is 48" to 20" isn't stressing the bow. I draw my white wood bows 1.25-2" under half its length. For a 48" bow I'd draw that easy 22". 4" under half its length is being nice on the bow.

Looking at the style of Lars Anderson in his video about Comanche style archery, my question is about shooting bison. It appears the bow was held lower and didn't use the line of sight as shown here for shooting higher targets. I understand you had to be very close to bison to shoot the arrow into the right spot, which would mean a downward angle with the bow. Any insight on how that was done on horseback? Thank you for making this great video.

nice arrows.

Very interesting! Thank you!

I know nothing of horse training, but I love animal training videos (and animal training). It is curious how the same principles seem to apply across so many species. I love the fact you stop when you get success, rather than risk souring the session by trying to repeat the success a bunch of times. I also love the fact you've spotted the previous, unintentional, conditioning that is unhelpful. It is so easy to train the wrong thing, and then get frustrated with an animal that is simply responding according to the conditioning that has been put in place. You did a great job of trying different options to get the animal to succeed. If I had the land, the time and the money, these videos would have me going to get a horse.

Pretty awesome stuff man that’s funny I just finish this bow. It’s a Comanche inspired recurve. It’s 46 inches knock knock got multiple layers of sinew on the back and I covered it with a diamondback rattlesnakes game that’s got Osage tip overlays the bow itself is Ironwood he draws 40 pounds at 21 inches. It’s pretty sweet little bow you’re interested in something like that let me know or I’ll be posting it on eBay and probably on my Etsy shop Deadstreambows looks like you constructed your own. That’s awesome bought maybe your kids might like this or something I just figured I’d offer it up because you’re the only person I’ve seen doing this kind of stuff on video for the most part and your kids are doing it that’s awesome anyway stay safe man and keep up the tradition.

how many pounds of pull and at what draw length

How many pounds draw at 22 inches?

I agree with you 100 percent .

Hi, very intresting Chanel you have. I have no doubt that the eyewitnesses were telling the truth. The Comanches could well practice every day from childhood pretty moch . MVH Peter, sweden

Genius.. Well done

Very informative and specific material. Thank you. I think you may be right about the arrow fletching. Have you talked to any Comanches about this? Your words seem to make sense. Additionally, the fletchings of Comanche arrows appear to be relatively low, which may also be an adaptation for rapid shooting. They are more convenient to operate and are probably not as susceptible to destruction during this type of shooting as they would be if they were taller.

Some of the best instruction I have heard yet! I like the way you get away from the grid field archery attitudes as well as the super spiritual Japanese formality. You can’t criticize success. Thanks for showing different techniques. Sounds by you speech patterns and accent you probably come from a place and background similar to mine. I come from: “ If’n it ain’t broke don’t fix it.”

What are the competitons called that you compete in? Thanks

Ok🤝👍

Why you shooting on the right sight?

Were the ancient people on metric or standard?

That’s perfect 👍🏻

Great video. I'm n the process of making a osage orange Comanche bow. Let the stave cure for two years. Have made 75 arrows. I'm ready

sorry- i appreciate the effort, and i'm extremely interested in the topic, but the audio problem makes it absolutely impossible to follow the content. i assume, the reason is the constantly changing, but in general too big distance to the microphone. Maybe you could improve this? Thank you

I got to see a goose flock on a lake30 years ago,,there must have been a million ......

Makes sence,,,different tools for different jobs

I shoot ASL and I watched your video, I shot with my thumb up on my bow. For what ever reason I shoot more consistent. I was already shooting with my string hand thumb up because of my Scandinavian high cheek bone. So I am a thumbs up shooter 👍 thanks brother!

After I watched this, I know how your draw hand works. I even know there are so many ways to draw an arrow. Very instructional. Thanks for sharing the valuable experiences. Now I know why your arrows have at least 4 inches from the end of feather to the end of nocks.

Very good. Now I have learned the Khatra shooting and will practice on this. But your draw hand (right hand) is hard to see. I notice you do not use anything but your own finger. Other Asiatic archery use Thumb ring. So what is your method to draw bow string?

Idk why European people think that they are the smartest people on this planet. It is looking like they are the scourge of this planet. Instead of living in harmony with the earth they are trying to kill our planet and tell us that our best bet is to get to mars , we are only going to destroy that planet also

Yea, i dont think of them as backwards in any sense. Highly skilled in working with what was found in nature. From their surroundings. When it comes to europian goods, its pretty much what did in most nations of the time. Except nations like the Comanches who held on to the bow and arrows until the end of that period of history.

From dead center of your arrows, how far forward is your balance point from dead center?

Any reason that you mentioned the two longer bows on the right will only last a year or two?

I live in Houston tx. Are there any gatherings or competitions near me?

Nice thanks.

nice bows

🙂❤
