I am going to try my “skills” at making a quiver for arrows I made from branches that fell in my yard. I took a gallon jug and cut it down by half and squeezed another jug in there. I figure it’ll hold 50 arrows.

Now I want to cover it in leather and make a sling for it. I’ve also made several bows from larger branches and strung them with Surveyor’s line. I’m going to try a couple with fishing line. Let you know how that works out.

That sounds like a neat project. How do your homemade bows and arrows work? I love archery. My birthday present to myself a few years ago (while I was still working and didn’t have Little Britches) was a compound bow. I almost went for a recurve, but thought the compound would be more practical for when I finally rope someone in to taking me out hunting.
