Bow and arrow

I want a bow and arrow but my parents insist there is no way in hell they are gonna get me one. So I was wondering if there is a simple way to make one that can shoot acurately.

no, a good handmade bow takes more then a week to make, and shooting it accurately depends on the person using the bow

Well I can Invest time into it when ever I can What type of wood would I use, also It it possibe to make a bow from palmtree

no, oak is good, palm tree will just snap on you, it takes a couple make on correctly, but if you use a palm after 8 shots you will have to make a new one

Ok, On the west coast it's hard to find somthing like that but I'll keep an eye out for Oak or somthing strong enough

Ive seen oak in California, I assume your still in high school which means you will have to work on this bow right after school and homework, which means you can't just goof off and expect this to take a week, research the making of a bow, before you make one

That is exactly what I'm doing is research.

Since you're in high school, If your Mom is still cleaning your room and doing your laundry and putting it away-I think that hiding any sort of weaponry would be an impossible feat That, and would you even have the types of tools required to make a precisely accurate bow, and the money and materials to get arrows? You may be able to find certain items in nature, but you'd definitely have to purchase the string; as regular thread or twine wouldn't be sufficient.

you can make the string I do

Can't you make the string out of plant fiber?

yes, if you know how

That's one of the things I will research

Silly guys!

I'm under the assumption they told you no for a reason. What are you going to use this bow for?

I would go hunting, target shooting, etcPeople act like I'm gonna use it as a tool of murder

Actually, I made one following those instructions...and it worked. It wasn't crappy in my opinion.
