dear Buckhorn , thank you for your interest and words ,i welcome and apriciate all the advice and dialog i can get on this subjust, sending equipment from abrowd to Israel is problamatice mainly becouse its realy expensive ,and books i try to bring from the US, even though i dident find one about traditional bow hunting! ,only on compound bow’s. and those have no art to them.
i have decided to go to the US in a few months (when i have some money)to learn and practice and i was thinkin of washington state ,is there eny other places you would recomend ?
it is a little frustrating not having eny equipment here and now, that i know i can preduce what i need , i need beter to know what i need 🙂 and how to apply it.
is it easy to find archery equipment in the US or Canada?and where would i find it?

crittergitter , the 30 pound bow i made is small yes ,its more a boy’s bow .but it was very teaching to make it. i have made one in the US after that one, from pacific yew and that was stronger and much bigger, but i broke it… 🙂 well more the plane ride then me…it couldent handel the climat diferences and cureved , and i tryed to take it back with not enugh patience. you see i am allways trying diferent things ,and becous there is no archery equipment here i try diferent things. to make the arrow heads i do flint knapping from local flint and a tool of copper. the fletching i made , one arrow from goose, and some from paliken. (and one from a rooster :)) .
let me know if you got eny edvice .

thanks alot guys, I took your method for draw length and weight for the little bow and: it’s 57 cm-length ,15 kilos-weight (30.8 pounds)! great to know how to mesure this! and so easy.
the reason i shoot some flint head arrows is becous i make them, good to know though that their expensive in the US,could be useful 😀

there is no archery equipment in israel to get (it’s not all sand,deuns and camels…we got chery garcia and everything)
but still no archery gear ,this is realy nice becous it chalenges me to make is myself!
all the best to you all!

thank you frank & killdeer , for replying and making me feel welcomed.

being perfectly honest ,i have no idea what is the draw weight of my bows ,the first one i made is from olive (and is named “little tiger” ) and is a small bow ,though very strong, about 1.5 meters ,from a single peice of wood.
the secound is about 1.75 meters and is from “pacific Yew” that i gathered in oregon, also a single peice of wood.
(she is called “haste”). both are made as traditional native american livebow,being from one peice of wood and worked with the ringes of the tree.
she was very strong and gracful, but to my pain did not survive being in a plane’s belly .
i peactice shooting on a bail of hey with arrows with flint heads and simple practice arrows.

in Israel there is no hunting season of any kind.
probably becouse there is not suficient game to allow it, and the fact that there is no game is due to over hunting from English and turkish reign .

but if one would, he could hunt rabit ,rock hyrax, wild boar, deer & wild goat(though rare and protected.)as well as some reptiles.

ironicaly, finding this web site and witnessing a live community of people that share this wonderful passion, has made me feel much more at ease, and i feel much less anxious about finding teaching ,for if there is a community to support i can learn by myself and be supported by the community when i choose .

trying to be an archer in israel is a little like being a potter in antarctica. 🙂

whould love to hear more from any of you, as for how is it like to practice this in your surroundings!

i would love to know how does one mesure the draw weight??
and are bow seasones seperet for specific game?

good medecine to all.
