The six materials are: wood, horns, glue, tendons, string, and paint. The processing of the six materials should be carried out according to the corresponding time. The wood is processed in Winter The horns are processed in the Spring The tendons are processed in the Summer The three are glued together in the Autumn. The shape is fixed in the Winter, and the work of modifying the appearance should be carried out in the coldest time. In HFC Bow&Arrow Series, I'd like to show you the complete process of making bows and arrows. Enjoy it. #CompoundBow #RecurveBow #HornBow
