How to Build a Hunting Bow

1). Cut a shallow notch an inch from the tip of both ends of the wood. You wood should have a diameter of about one to two inches.
2). Cut a piece of the nylon cord eight inches shorter that the length of the wood.
3). Place the cord into the already-cut notch and tie it tightly.
4). Tie a slipknot on the free end of the cord. This is done by making a loop about two inches from the end of the cord, allowing the end of the cord to fall behind the loop and pulling gently to form a pretzel shape.
5). Hold the tied end of the wood firmly on the ground and pull the cord, flexing the wood as necessary, to fit the slipknot into the other notch.
6). Pull the slipknot until it is secure and tight.
7). Wrap a few strips of tape around the center of the bow to add thickness.
