A wonderful video of a good way to make a Scythian Bow. Not cluttered with words, or music. Just real Life with Crickets, Wind and Rain...and the sound of dedicated work with your hands and tools. My Dog really paid attention to the sawing sounds. Oh, if only my People would come and some of them could learn, from you, this valuable way! Thank you, Stiliyan Stefanov. For showing Us your Good Way to a Scythian Bow. I am really looking forward to "Part 2".

I was breathless watching all the process!!! I don't need to tell anything, you are bowmaking hero and I admire your skills and knowledge in ancient technologies. That's insane!!! I am only in confusion about knots/nodes on the wooden laths. Saw such ones in acer tartaricum and never had a courage to use it. It bends severe like a gum without crack! :O However there's clean surface in what is supposed to be bending section even rest of ridged limb should bend a bit. Did you care of knots? Edited: You seem utilized knotty piece with larger clean section for the grip spliced in limbs. Can't wait to see that Bulgaro - Thraco-Scythian bow to rock hell out of target :) Поздрави Стилијан!!!! feel so happy and inspired!!!

Looking like a Chinese bow is it? Or recurve bow. Is this from the Mongols or developed previously perhaps..I know the Scythians predate Genghis etc. Geographically speaking did East Asia share the same practices in bow making? I'd love to see a test in re range plus power between say and English longbow the Japanese and say the Mongol/steppe bow. I guess similar in strength. The English longbow took years to build up the strength needed and I don't think the Eastern type bows needed as much strength to draw the bow but benefitted from better/stronger construction?
