Crap! arrows should be half as long as the bow... hmmm... mine are almost the same length... :-? :wink:

Hmmm..................

If you built a bow using those directions then the arrow formula is reasonably.

That way you will not overdraw it and have the bow break - which can be painful.

The bow is only a metre long. And they cannot spell metre:
A dead hardwood stick about 1 meter in length for the bow

Remember this is a survival bow written for a wide variety of recipients ... some of whom may struggle to tie up their shoes!

It's the US Army Survival Manual.
