I have purchased a hand crafted long bow and hammer forged knife with custom scabbard from Zaki. He’s a master craftsman and has definitely preserved ancient skills that were once essential to human survival. Exceptional quality, brother! Phenomenal talent!
if you begin to straighten your shafts as they dry by the time they are dry they will need almost no heat straightening. if you use "arrow wood" ( viburnum dentatum, also called nannyberry) you will have to leave the bark on while they dry otherwise they will split. but red willow and wild cherry can be debarked right after you cut them. each day unbundle the shafts and begin to bend out the crooks. for the first week or so they will not respond to the straightening but by week two they will. after about a month (or even less depending on how warm the room is ) the shafts should be perfectly straight.
You should try shooting with a pinch grip. That’s how many First Nations shot their bows. Plus many arrows will have a bit of a ledge carved in near where the arrow knock is for the pinch grip. Great arrow!
western plains arrows were always barrel shafted. and they always had a bulbous nock. they would use the thicker end of the shaft (the end closer to the ground) and trimmed down the shaft from that end creating a barrel shaft and the bulbous nock. the reason for the bulbous nock was for the various "pinch" grips western plains indians used. the barreled shaft is aerodynamically superior . i have restored old western plains indian arrows (Sioux) and they were all barrel shafted with bulbous nocks.
Do you use Krazy glue to glue your arrow heads together I strongly recommend do not doing it because it has a tendency to let loose in cold weather anything below
@@zakisworkshop ok, thanks for answering..! The reason I asked,about their origin...was due to the fact,that they look similar( kinda/ sorta) to a "Crow nation" friend of mine! The trader points came , originally from the banding strap on wagon wheels... The arrows look hefty enough to hunt with maybe even up to 60 + yards...??? Thanks! 👍🏹🧙♂️🏹👍!!
@@greywolfwalking6359 sounds cool :D! i have heard about using the metal from wagon wheels before :D! these arrows i have made are differently capable of hunting game :D
Actually it comes from *any tribes* and i come from *cherokee tribe* but im still learning more about my heritage sooo these arrows can be created in *any tribes* as we speak *modern or old fashioned ways*
@@skiesdub yes...in a short answer...in the " 5C's " a commonality ran true, in the " traditional materials" used..in more " modern primitive styles " some "trader points" are used ...there are sooo many variations, primarily because the various clans, medicine people, and warrior sects have set out to identify, by their archery tackle...so check into that aspect for exact materials? 👍🏹🧙♂️🏹👍 hope this helps!!??
Warum ein neues Sägeblatt zerschneiden für Pfeilspitzen ? Warum die Spitzen härten wenn das Sägeblatt bereits gehärtet ist ? Ansonsten schön gemacht ..
I hate to $hit on anyone's style... But those fletching don't make alot of sense, it will only create unecessary drag and noise. And if you consider hunting both are bad. The tips are too long and too narrow. And there is too little contact with the shaft, you should place it deeper in the shaft and make them more wide and short, if you streach the arrow shaft in a straight line you would see is wider than that tip. The point of making a tip for hunting is to make a larger hole so the rest of the arrow go in easily without too much friction. Also the wider the tip the more chances you have to cut or hit some vital organ and kill the animal faster. I mean the only reason you would put such tips on the arrow is to kill. Also when you use superglue, use a piece of paper and roll the arrow in that so you won't get superglue allover your fingers. The way i make blades is by using brass bullet arrow tips, i cut with a fine hacksaw a split in the tip. But this part is very delicate and there are chances you will ruin the tip because you have to make a precise cut, otherwise the blade will not be centered and the arrow won't fly straight. Then i use the back of old cutter blades, the section wich has no scored lines to break. I cut a triangle out of that and solder it to the tip. I test it and it even goes through a particle board without breaking. As for fletchings, the aerodinamics of parabolic or shield style are the best. Shield style is better for long bows for example because it creates a little bit more drag and stabilize the arrow faster but will also slow it down faster. The parabolic design is better if you have a centered riser and a well tuned bow and arrows. It will make the arrow fast If you ask me, the only real art when it comes to bow and arrows, is not painting arrows or things like this, that is just gives them a character. Is how well you can tune your bow and arrows to shoot arrows as straight as possible, without wobble and unecessary drag. Because every wobble creates drag, every unecesary drag slows the arrow and by the time it reached it's target it has lost alot of energy. I've played alot with bows since i was a kid, and i learned that if you can, you should always build a centered riser or handle to the bow and evoid archer's paradox. This will allow you to shoot even weaker arrows in spine, and it will make your arrows fly faster and straight. You can do that with selfbows too, you just leave the handle section a little bit beefier, maybe you cannot achive a perfect centered arrow rest but still you will reduce the archer's paradox significantly. If you look on asians bows you would see most of their bows have a very thin handle. Most of asians bows come from nomads, nomads were the masters of bow and arrows. When it comes to a primitive bow their technology reached the apex of bows and arrows. The notorious long bow, compared to nomad bows is a joke. Turks wich also used that technology in making bows had the fastest bows in history and they also used very often parabolic fletchings style. Is hard when it comes to that primitive technology to invent something else, better than what our ancestors developed during hundreds of years.
A lot of intensity for one arrowhead....forge and oven a waste of time and resources.... you are not trying to pierce armor plating....WTH... the other processes were skillfully rendered however...!!

Cool stuff!

Beautiful arrows!
Love the sound of the last arrow! Nice job sir.
thank you sir , and thank you for watching sir :D!
Nice arrows 👌
thank you brother :D!
Woa!!! I "make arrows" but this is next level. Very inspiring!!!

thank you good tip brother :D
fine craftsmanship
thank you :D!
@@zakisworkshop welcome bro
More arrows too beautiful to shoot. What is the wood you use for the shafts?
thank you :D! the shafts are made of hazel :D
Hey everybody :D! if you are interested in buying some of my work check out my new website

Great arrows!! Exelent job!!!👏👏👏🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇
thank you brother :D!
Reason I'm asking I just made a 48-in deer ride back Osage the short bow. It's about 60 lbs at 20 in.
Bravo!
Curious to know why you heated and quenched. Wasn't the blade already hard? Or did you think it lost its temper after cutting?
i heat treated it again because i thought it has lost its temper after all that cutting and grinding :D

Hello bro, great and beautiful work, greetings from Ghana , 🇬🇭, what is the length of the hazel shafts? And length of the feathers?
hello my brother :D! thank you so much ! the hazel shafts is 62 centimeter long, and the feathers are 18 cm long :D!
@@zakisworkshop thank you bro,
GREAT VID and HANDSOME KITTY!
beautifull love it
thank you my friend :D!
Those arrows look like they pack a wallop.
thank you , they sure do brother :D!

Cool!
thank you :D
Wooooooow!!!!. Can you say , what's wood on arrows?? Very nice arrows..
thank you :D! yes brother , its hazel wood shoots :D!
Great video, what's the device you're using to reshape the wood for the arrow?
i am using an old electric cooktop, too heat the arrows so i can straighten them :D!
Top
thank you :D!
I really wonder what they used to cut the metal with in the old days. Does anyone have any info on that?
hello brother , they would have used a chisel brother :D
When will you go hunting with this ?
Do you use Krazy glue to glue your arrow heads together I strongly recommend do not doing it because it has a tendency to let loose in cold weather anything below
i have never had that problem brother :D! is just secund glue, but thank you for the tip :D
How heavy is your bow? How many grains are the arrows?
this bow i 60 pounds :D, i don't know how many grains the arrows are, i make them by feel :D
👍👍👍👍
thank uyou :D!
Interesting design..what nation of American Indian are these from??? Do they do well on a 40 yard shot??
thank you :D! not any specific nation, they are inspired of some of the different styles plus my own ideas :D! yes they do :D!
