Primitive Bow

A primitive bow is a very traditional type of bow, built as close as possible to historical or Stone Age models. It is usually made from a single piece of wood (selfbow) and avoids modern materials such as fiberglass or carbon.

Characteristics:

• Constructed from a single piece of wood
• No technical accessories
• Natural materials (wood, bowstring, natural fibers)
• Often uneven, natural shape
• Typically shot with wooden arrows

The focus is on craftsmanship, tradition, and simplicity, rather than maximum performance.
