Build a Repeating Crossbow – In
the hands of an experienced crossbowman it will deliver five shots in
five seconds with near rifle accuracy over a ranges up to 40 yards. This
Crossbow has all the handling characteristics of a fine repeating
rifle.  The plans cover step
by step how to make this repeating crossbow. This is not just a
crossbow plan but also a unique repeating crossbow. The Repeating
Crossbow is described in a three-page set of plans. 

Build a Distance Flight Bow Plans
– The flight bow is the ultimate in the bowyer’s field. The bow that
results from these particular plans is a lovely thing, light in the
hand, sweet in performance with no harshness on the hand.

Build a Wooden American Flat Bow Plans – shoot with accuracy at a hundred yards (about the extreme accurate range of the long rifle).  The
dimensions given are for a bow 5 ft. 8 in. long with a weight (the
archer’s term for the strength of a bow) of from 45 to 50 lb. at a draw
of from 27 to 28 in. This combination is suitable for the average man.
When new the bow will draw 5 lb. or more above these figures.

Build a Wooden Hunting Bow Plans –
These classic archery plans are for a standard bow intended for
hunting. The plans are similar to the standard bow plans; they stand out
because they aim to give you more hunting information. There’s info on
making various blunt and broadhead arrows as well, and a discussion on
the merits of flat vs. semi-flat bows.
 

Build a Wooden Long Bow Plans – Plans
are for a wooden long bow, or a flat bow, and include arrow-making
information. The long bow has a deep or “stacked” body, which is
generally recognized as the best type of bow shape.

Build Your Own Recurve Bow Plans– A
laminated recurve bow is tackling the most difficult project in the
critical field of bow making. Today’s modern bow is made up of
laminations of wood and Fiberglass, the wood serving as a neutral core
or spacer between two laminations of Fiberglas. Actually it is the
Fiberglass that does the work of the bow, carrying 88 percent of the
load while the wood core carries only 12 percent.
