Archery and What Bows are Made From
Archery and what Bows are made From:
When we look at Archery and the Bow and Arrow, There are questions we may ask about.
One of the first questions would be: What types of wood are used to make Bows?
This is a question with a few answers. One Archer may say one type of wood is there favorite, another may say something completely different. I guess there probably isn't a true wrong answer in this type of situation. It's probably more a method of what feels the best to the individual who will be the primary user of the bow. But we will go over the common types that are used in the production of the Archery Bow. This may give us as individuals more insight, Or at lest theoretically coin the answer basically to the question.
A. Bow Woods
Lets take a look at the most common types of woods used to make bows. As we look at bows today, The most common type of wood would be Yew. Lemonwood and Osage Orange are also widely used in the production of bows. There are other types used, But these three types are the most commonly widely used in bow production. But the three types mentioned have been known to bring the greatest satisfaction to the archer. Lemonwood is usually the wood recommended for the beginning archer, Reason being it's cheap and satisfactory for the application of the beginner. There is little question that Yew and Osage Orange are most desirable for the production of bows. Usually the high cost of these bows keep them out of the hands of most archery schools and beginners. It does that there are some bows that are made in the Northwest United States made of Yew, These are comparable in price to those made of Lemonwood.
Osage bows are however about the same price as the better Yew made bows. When a bow is made of a single type of wood, These are called self-bows. When a bow has been strengthened , Either by having a thin piece of tough wood, raw-hide, or strengthened with fiber glue to the back, These are known as backed bows. These certain materials are added with the hopes of adding strength and durability to the bow, This in turn is making the bow tougher to break. Giving light to the Yew bow, this being made so that the light-colored, tough “rind” of the sapwood forms to the back and the much darker-hued, less-tensile heartwood forms into the belly. This has the same great advantages of the backed bow.
Sometimes a bow will be made from a single stave of wood, but more often than naught they are spliced, since splicing brings more opportunity for making the arms of the same High Quality of wood. It's most often easier to find a short piece of the same desired quality of the first piece.
We learn that the bow doesn't just belong to Robin Hood or William Tell but to all of us.

where do i find a good basic Archery Set? [please read details]?
my school uses basic bows w/ shelves and arrows with a silver tip and an odd color to nock onto the string. i am a 16 year old girl and can pull pretty hard on the string, so a junior set or a Light Weight wouldn't work at all.
i have NO idea where to get one of these bows and these arrows. help?
If you want tradtional (recurve or longbow) go to www.3riversarchery.com and get a Fred Bear starter set. They have them for all ages and tastes.
