Hi, this instructable will show you how to make a bow and arrow, lord of the rings style.
It is very cheap to make and is very lightweight.
This instructable was requested by jediwhiz3 a while back and I apologise for getting it up so late.

I wanted to get that middle-ages look so I cut the wood in half with my coping saw to get a rough cut look
be careful cutting the wood (I cut myself at least once making this)
Then stain your wood (I used ight oak)

Adding the Curve

My camra ran out of battery for this step so please forgive me.
cut a diagonal line half way and then cut a piece of wood the size of your hand.
screw the 2 pieces on t the crip and where the line is cover with tape.
stain over the tape and it will be almost invisible.
finally drill a hole in the grip for the arrow to sit in

Almost Done

almost done,
tie a piece of string to the top of the bow to the bottom
