- Demonstrating how to build a Bow Trap, with a Yew Self Bow.
CAUTION!!!
Please, be safe and take care if you build, practice or use this trap, its extremely dangerous.
Its illegal in most countries to leave a trap of this nature unattended.
To me, this is a long term survival trap, or to be used in a survival situation with a large group to feed. Personally, I believe its easier to trap and hunt small game in a survival setting. Small game is easier to trap, usually in more abundance than large game, and you don't have to worry about preserving all that meat.
This trap is still used by small tribes across the world, including the Nuaulu tribe in Indonesia. They use most types of bow and spear traps to harvest pigs (wild boar) and other similar animals and mammals. When set correctly and discretely, this trap is an officiant way to harvest large game.

to improve this trap you could attach a string to the arrow so that the animal will be mostly stuck to the trap and if it misses the arrow wont get lost
+Liam Teetzel
Thanks Liam. That's a good idea.
Welcome
+Liam Teetzel Perhaps it could also hold the animal to the trap to a certain degree?
+Liam Teetzel if it was set for a deer then you would need some very strong string and you would have to somehow add a barb to the tip so it doesn't just simply pull out. In the end though the shaft itself would probably break and the deer would get away. I see where you are coming from though and this idea would work for a lot of smaller game, in a survival situation you want to give yourself the highest chance of catching your food and ensuring your prey doesn't have a chance yo escape greatly increases your odds at survival!
Luke Posadas I didn't imagine the arrow totally holding the deer, I meant that it would make the wound even worse when it tried to get away. (Sorry, I'm Swedish!)
Wow! Great idea in the right scenario. I will learn this one for sure.

Cheers buddy.
This looks like something straight out of Indiana Jones!
haa i was thinking the same :D
When I set traps I usually put up signs to warn people who may happen by. It's my experience that most animals can't read so they'll still blunder into it. Besides, field dressing people is pretty messy. (Ugh)
+Grepadu
lol Yes, very wise thing to do.
One of the tribe's that still use these type death traps, hang stick triangles all around the perimeter of each trap, with the triangles pointing towards it. Very dangerous, especially when it's camouflaged.
Thanks for your comment
Andy
Grepadu that’s why you don’t set traps in public areas only on your own property
Protip: If you can't get your camera to focus on a small object just put your hand directly behind it. The camera will focus on your hand which will bring the small object into focus as well.
Thanks
not a fan of water torture, but least I know what it looks like now 😂 great video.
our neighbour said that we need more toys for her children to play with on our garden playground, and it looks like i just hit the jackpot!
Much simpillar trigger system here than what I've seen on other versions of this trap. Really cool vid!
+Jim Baird The Adventurer
Thanks Jim.
Iv tried a few different triggers, but iv found this one the most reliable.
Cheers buddy
Andy
Come across the southern border and your family are welcome here your a brother from another mother 🇺🇸... God Bless you Brother.. survivor.... 👍
Thank you for throwing in the bow part.That was awesome so in a pinch I know what to look for.
Awesome video. That's a real killer trap ! Subbed ya. Be safe hahaha lots of details. Will have to watch this a few times and test this out !
That looks awesome.
Fascinating. Deadly. Primitive. You earned your man badge. The loin cloth is next. Thanks!
Haha Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it brotha. I'm off bow hunting next week... Very tempted :)
Cheers,
Andy
That looks badass!
Why do you have to keep killing those water bottle creatures ???
Watching them bleed out was terrifying.
And the squeals they made when the arrows entered their thin, plastic-like skin *shudders*
we need to BAN WATER BOTTLES
They were so young
You have a lovely voice!
And you advice is easy to watch/listen to.
Good job.
Really nice video. I love that you showed how to make a bow as well as the trap

I'm definetely gonna make me some of these. Gonna learn to set it up in complete darkness.
Awesome!
+Cato Conan Pedersen
Nice one. Let me know how it goes buddy.
I'd defantly recommend a bit of daylight tho.
Cheers
Andy
I will off course practise alot before I am able to this in the dark.
Will keep you posted 🎯
Simple and effective. Thanks.
Good, simple explanations. Thanks.
Holy Mackerel this is a secret weapon with lethal authority for sure. This device would ruin the day of anything that upset that trip-wire and leave a lasting memory for the very lucky. Subscribed sir.
thats a very good bow for how fast was made of! awesome!
Facinating video great job appreciate your post cheers
I’ve built a few bow traps back in 09’ using a fiberglass bow and green para-cord. If I used one of my wooden bows, it would surely take set and string follow. Purely for practice purposes though. I would never leave the trap armed.
The bow trap is lethal, and i’m sure it’s worked before. I feel as though a strong leg twitch up snare for large game would be more effective and less time consuming too build, let alone the least dangerous to the person setting it.
I personally would never use the bow trap, except in an enemy evasion situation (thinking worst case scenario here) where you would have to defend yourself against potential guerrilla attacks at base camp.
I personally use Pauite deadfalls, baited twitch-up snares, and simple snares for trapping. I’ve had a high success rate with the Pauite deadfall, as it is the most sensitive. On my old channel, I have a video of a successful trapping using pine nuts as bait. The trap was set for an opossum or raccoon, with a 65 pound slab of granite stone. The next morning, a 3 inch long field mouse was crushed under the trap. I guess I baited with “X” type food in an area with primarily “Y” food, and for the sake of a change in diet or pure curiosity, the mouse took the bait. The Pauite traps are extremely sensitive. The only disadvantage is that they require a length of cordage which may not be readily available in a primitive situation. That’s when a figure four would work.
Either way, thanks for posting this. I always tell people that 70% of your diet will come from trapping, 20% from foraging edible plants, and 10% from hunting. Taking into account your living off of the land with minimal tools and have to build your own bow or atlatl.
Very good trap, what is cool I watched this earlier, then saw your snare trap video. Yours came out very well also mate.
Cheers, I appreciate it bro.
You can't beat a good death trap haha.
Thanks
Andy
hey i was wondering when setting up any type of trap do you have to have some sort of warming for humans? is there a well known hunting sign type thing to warn people a trap is in the area?
Another great video mate. That's a very well made bow there and thanks for showing the different tips and their effect. Interesting stuff. Also using a water bottle really gave a dramatic effect hehe.
+ExtremeBogom
Cheers, appreciate it Brotha.
The bow didn't have to be as powerful, I think 30lb draw would do the trick on the biggest of critters. Id never fired them sharpened shafts at a target before lol
Wouldn't like to stand in front of one, but not very practical.
Thanks
Andy
Awesome leathal bow trap.
Cheers mate
Ohh yea. I think I saw this from the deleted scenes of one of the Rambo movies hahaa. Nice trap
Scary trap. Good to know about it. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work! this video has been up for 2 weeks, i don't know how i mist it! again Nice work, Atb Ron
+OutdoorRon 68
Thanks Ron.
You to Brotha, all the best.
Andy

Excelentes vídeos En verdad aprendemos mucho y los disfrutamos en família Gracias por mostrarnos lo hermoso de disfrutar de la naturaleza
Awesome!
Absolutely loved this, my son is 9 and we are learning how to set traps, build shelters and survive in the mountains where we live, in Europe. Thanks for your advice, this is clear and detailed, and with safety precautions. thanks again
U stay safe
Brilliant set up. thank you for sharing. This can make a huge difference harvesting protein in a survival situation.
Your welcome bro, glad you liked it.
I practace alot of these old primitive traps, some of them arn't too practical, but I think this one would defantly keep ya belly full in a survival / shtf situation.
Thanks
Andy
+Clan Gunn Bushcraft Agreed! And you're welcome :) This looks like a very resourceful way to sustain life in a survival / shtf situation. I will for sure, be practicing to make a set up like this, to add to my knowledge for survival. What I appreciate the most is you can set up a few on different game trails to give yourself an even better chance of harvesting an animal. Great video and again thanks for sharing.
Best Regards to you Andy :)
Haven't saw this before, subbed just from watching this video.

Thanks
Andy
Your accent kicks ass
That's very clever, neat trap but i think i would go hungry before im done building the thing LOL ... it really is a neat set up tho ... nice vid.
+Alex Tissot
Haha, Cheers Alex.
With a little practace, they don't take to much to set up.
Takes me approximately 2 hours per trap. At a push, I could probably make and set 4-5 in a day.
Thanks
Andy
very cool
Wow!! great trap buddy! extreem!
Very good!!
That's a sweet setup bro
+Kyle Benzeno
Cheers Kyle, appreciate it brotha.
Great content, well described,
Nice job dude!
+Lampshades Gaming
Cheers Bro.
+Clan Gunn Bushcraft thx now I can protect my camp from predators
That first bit made me jump. I think I'll make a bow like yours. Thanks
cool thing about traps is they hunt for you. traps are essential in a survival scenario when you don't have time, or energy to hunt for food. thanks for the knowledge.
+viking Mckim
Cheers bro. My thoughts exactly.
Thanks
Andy
Thought I was about to hear some dope ass Bow Trap music.
Awesome vid.
Cheers Tom

Andy
looks like a good small game bow, made of yew. awsome wood. 50 lbs yew larger game, and compact
You are extremely knowledgeable my friend. Great video I will be sharing this video on my facebook group Everything Outdoors! Share your Experience. Thanks for the knowledge. -Eric
Thanks Eric, muchly appreciated pal.
Cheers
Andy
Awesome trap, surprisingly powerful. Have you used the hardened oak arrowhead or anything similar on an animal? Was it successful?
This is great! I've never seen another Gunn before! Greetings from Canada, haha!
Haha Cheers.
Us Gunn's are everywhere :)
Great to find another clan member, take care Brotha.
Cheers
Andy
im gonna try this great vid bro
+brailwolf
That's awesome! Let me know how it goes.
Just be careful brotha. It's a very dangerous trap.
Cheers
Andy
practical and easy to make nice tutorial
Great tutorial. Easy to make and use.
Thanks Subodh :)
Outstanding demonstration there my friend. Very knowledgeable.
There's a couple of bow trap videos hear on youtube, but there all using factory / professionally made bows. Amateurs lol.
Great video and channel.
Thanks
Wolf
Haha, Thanks Wolf, I appreciate it brotha.
Cheers
Andy
Really deadly! Are these legal to actually use for hunting where you are?
Thank you for sharing, brother
great video, very well demonstrated, liked seeing the effectiveness of the different arrow heads, thanx for sharing
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it buddy, thanks for watching. Subbed... Lookin forward to going through your vids.
Thanks
Andy
cheers for the sub, been enjoying alot of your trapping videos, only ever practised making basic snares.
Seems to me that the trigger board made the arrow point up as it was fired. Should it be thinner and have the trigger stick perched right on the vey end of the trigger board?
That was very awesome/clever
Thanks buddy, glad you liked it.
I love your long story
very interesting and I Must say brilliant!! thanks and blessings
+Ray Walter
Thanks Ray, muchly appreciated.
Take care Brotha.
Andy
Nice!
