Forge Korean Takedown Steel Bow from Rusty Leaf Spring | Forge a steel BOW out of Rusted Leaf SPRING

Bows can be made out of many type of materials and tools at low cost. in my previous videos, I built a few bows from old bicycle wheels . They can be as cool as bow made form PVC pipe especially when it can function as a normal bow or even can do bow fishing with it. I built one of bow with the inspiration from the Green Arrow bow, or Oneida compound bow. This time, I would like to present you my new Korean take down bow I made from an old rusty leaf spring which I bought at the local salvage yard. I. After several test shot at the target, i think one day, I should use it to do bow fishing a long with my crossbow. It's also fun for shooting this bow vs coke. The draw weight is 60lbs at 28 inches. The bow limbs are 4mm thick, the width is 2,4 cm. The thickness of the part of the bows to insert in the sockets that form the grip is 6mm thick. and the grip length is 10,5 cm.
In my previous video, I built a similar bow using four coil springs making the bow strong enough to shoot small games or do bow fishing. And I also show how I made the arrow rest from a PVC pipe.
In my previous video I show a bow that I made out of a Leaf Spring that I found an old leaf spring at the local salvage yard. It was a good bow and more powerful than this bow. Please check it out in this link : www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASlWj...

Bögen können aus vielen Arten von Materialien und Werkzeugen kostengünstig hergestellt werden. In meinen vorherigen Videos habe ich ein paar Bögen aus alten Fahrradrädern gebaut. Sie können so cool sein wie ein aus PVC-Rohr hergestellter Bogen, besonders wenn sie als normaler Bogen funktionieren oder sogar mit dem Bogen angeln können. Ich habe einen Bogen gebaut, der vom Green Arrow-Bogen oder Oneida-Compoundbogen inspiriert ist. Dieses Mal möchte ich Ihnen meinen neuen koreanischen Take-Down-Bogen vorstellen, den ich aus einer alten rostigen Blattfeder gemacht habe, die ich auf dem örtlichen Schrottplatz gekauft habe. I. Nach mehreren Testschüssen auf die Zielscheibe denke ich, dass ich sie eines Tages zum Bogenfischen mit meiner Armbrust verwenden sollte. Das Zuggewicht beträgt 60lbs bei 28 Zoll.

With this style of design and the relatively tough steel limbs you could use the same handle and progress through different draw weights as you train until you are able to comfortably use the draw weight you want.

Sangat kreatif bagus,itu per nya pakai per mobil apa?

[@r.n.6573]

Sir, I have 3 questions.
- What is the length of the bow ?
- is it ok to shape it by hitting it with a hammer without a vise or to soften it and shape it with fire? Will flexibility be lost and re-heat treatment required?
- is it okay if I work on a soft carbon steel that has not been heat treated, rather than on an old hard steel, and give it a heat treatment at the end ?
Kind regards

[@backyard.craftsman]

thanks brother for the question. it's risky to forge the limb. making it too hard, it might snape, and making it too soft, it's not springy. so I would suggest that you grind it thinner by letting it cool down very often to retain it's springines before continuing to grind it.

Would you kindly tell me the arrow speed (arrow weight/draw length)?

[@garethbaus5471]

Steel bows tend to be inefficient for a given draw weight especially when using relatively lightweight hunting arrows, which makes them poorly suited to hunting. A bow like this would still be great for strength training and target practice.

[@PeregrinTintenfish]

@@garethbaus5471 Interesting. Would a heavier arrow increase the efficiency? What would the efficiency be, ballpark?

[@Graywolf116]

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this bow does not care about being dry fired lol.

[@backyard.craftsman]

Sure, we can do dry fire multiple times, it won't break, but we might not like the hand shock for doing that :)

I don’t know how to weld, so I’m screwed there.

[@backyard.craftsman]

I also didn't know how to weld years ago. Now not a professional, but enough skill to make things works :) To make this bow, there's another way to do it without welding if you don't want a takedown bow. You will just need to grind and bend one piece of steel to shape of the bow and put a hand grip on it without cutting it into two and building sockets for the limb insertion.
