Regarding bows, my husband has had his bow since high school, but it is a fancy glass (yes, glass, I don't know why or how) bow that is a devil for me to even draw back. He made a lovely wooden bow for our kids, it involved finding just the right size branch/stick, peeling the bark off and letting it season and weighting the ends down while it dried.

We spent forever in the pick up area trying to get him in it and get the little ball balanced so we could go home. Also since it's made for such a large weight range it seems long to me so we had to put the seat in front of it up a bit so it would fit. The website has videos that I found much more helpful than the manual that came with the seat.Becky D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04221459621218600505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-8488478153623434402011-12-30T16:28:48.439-05:002011-12-30T16:28:48.439-05:00You crack me up and I totally feel like I'm mi...You crack me up and I totally feel like I'm missing out on the vinegar thing.Melanie Gillespiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973557142019531496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-45771723886324743312011-12-30T15:44:12.872-05:002011-12-30T15:44:12.872-05:005- So glad you found a car seat you like.

They meet weekly for practice, then the leather guild teaches how to make your own protective gear, and the guys also have gotten together and MADE their own bows and arrows using period correct materials... it can be a lot of fun. My personal gear has been a really fun history research project to figure out what spices would have been owned by someone in 1000AD who came from the Eastern Roman empire... what fabric, how was it dyed, what embroidery techniques, etc.<br /><br />Anyway, I think you might be too far from a Society group but it isn't difficult to look them up online and check; they can be a fun resource for the historical aspects and the do it yourself aspects and the safety rules for things like Archery... Also can be a fun home school resource for living history from 800-1500 or so...Ann Seetonhttp://hg2au.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378450001604002654.post-62171520148778335542011-12-30T12:02:07.072-05:002011-12-30T12:02:07.072-05:00Great choice on the car seat.
