Primitive Arrow Making Tutorial

  • The bow and arrow was an essential tool used by primitive humans for hunting and war since prehistoric times. The tradition of arrow making was passed and improved on from one generation to the next but today the skill and art of making bows and arrows is mostly lost. In this video, my caveman friend Ziko meets up with me in the desert for a tutorial on how to make simple arrows and then we practice shooting those arrows at a Mojave yucca target.

    This art of bow and arrow making is really interesting to me. I have a lot more to learn and practice. It will only get better.

      Great video explaining bow and arrow making. I like your style of videography to give the feeling of isolation and studying the environment for things to use for survival and the elements of nature, my only ask is that you use some variations in the atmos of bird sounds, raven or crow sounds seem to be your favourite, but become noticeable, maybe research bird sounds for the local area. I enjoy what you are doing, it is really captivating, once you start you have to see how it ends, well done! Love the close ups and distance shot of the arrow was really cool! Thanks for the blooper reel at the end 😂👍 very enjoyable video!

      What’s the fourth wall

    • @netyr4554
      @netyr4554 3 роки тому +2

      The fourth wall is an imaginary barrier between the characters of a production and anything outside of the scene, if the character interacts with an audience member or camera/crew they're breaking the fourth wall. Chad (the character) can speak to Ziko because he is also a character in the scene, he cannot speak to us. In Chad's more recent videos he often narrates over the video, this doesn't break the fourth wall as the narrator is outside of the scene, aka the narrator is on our side of the wall.

    I make primitve arrows from any type of hardwood.. I like Hazel ones :). I bring them back home, leave them to dry for 2 days(bark on) after that I straighten them using my hand, while they are still green(bark on) after one week of doing that, I debark them and start attaching the feathers and making the points :)

    Thanks for this video Chad and Ziko, great instructions and close up camera angles. I never knew that reeds could be used as arrow shafts. I always assumed you needed a light straight wood, but a hollow reed never occurred to me as being sturdy enough. I'm sure most reeds around the world don't work but just knowing that it's possible and some do is useful knowledge.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  4 роки тому +1

      Yes, cane or reed works well, is very light, can be straightened and also reinforced to make it stronger. Plus it's quite easy to work with.

    My family has a big backyard full of apple,olive and pomegranate trees i used to buy a string from a store nearby and make a bow from the olive tree branches they were a bit thick and flexable and some pomegranate tree branches were strong and thin so i used them as arrows by sharpening their heads and somehow i shot a pigeon in the head

    The common way to shoot a recurve bow is to not pause at the back of the pull. Just pull back and on the way back when you reach the pull distance desired for velocity, let go.

    If you have trouble keeping the arrow nock on the string try the Indian style pinch grip, the nock is pinched between the thumb and side of the index finger, the index finger tip pulls on the string (use middle and ring fingers also if the bow is too heavy to draw with just index and thumb). This method can also be used with nockless arrows.

    • @ChadZuberAdventures
      @ChadZuberAdventures  4 роки тому

      Hey, thanks for the tip! I'm a total beginner at this. These were some of my first arrows. I will keep in mind the nockless technique too.

I wish my films would have such good cinematography, even my film I just released yesterday visually stands no chance.
