i saw Stim Wilcox make a hatchet only bow in 20 minutes at the tenn classic.he then shot three arrows into a target with a real tight group.i don't know if the bow lasted forever,but it was real cool to see it done.

Amen blackhawk, I will never do that again also. Even if I was in a survival situation I would at least toast it on a fire for a while before I strung it up.

Tim baker went from green wood to bow in 6 days. I know I can't beat that.
And I have been dropped off in the wild for 7 days. Made traps that coyotes kept robbing. Managed to get a working bow from a dead/pre-seasoned piece of oceanspray, i dried oceanspray and osoberry shoots in my camp fire smoke and had a hunting weapon in 2 days. Which got me 1 pheasant 2 grouse and countless rabbits. It was also in August so wild edibles where very abundant. I was never starved.

i think a sapling bow contest would be good as fine hunters can be made from saplings but i just dont see the point of making a bow from green wood when the whole time making it, i'd be thinking, this thing aint gonna last anyways.

There seems to be dissenion on whether or not a sapling can make a good durable bow. Some believe only split tree stock can make a functional bow. All i make is sapling bows because they are easy to cut, make, and shoot well. I don't believe the natives cut down 10 inch trees with a stone axe and split them with their antler wedges. I've said it before, only a Sith deals in absolutes. There are many ways to make bows
