Best Survival Bows 2023

Even though the bow as a weapon has been used since ancient times, it still has not lost its relevance. Bows can be divided into two main types (recursive and block). You can make a recursive onion yourself, at home, or in the forest. Now you can find many interesting “recipes” for making this weapon. As for the block onion, this miracle of technical thought appeared relatively recently, they are only about fifty years old. Bows from ancient times helped in hunting, in protection against danger, and also were durable weapons. In my opinion, a bow for survival should be reliable, not large, light, invisible when carried, and preferably collapsible. All the same, it is difficult to consider it as the main weapon in our time, and as an auxiliary one just in case, it can even be.

Survival Expert & Gun Lover

Hello, I am Helen. It would seem a successful product manager in an IT company and an expert on weapons - these two roles can never get along in one person. No matter how sometimes there are exceptions. From early childhood, I realized that the love of weapons, such as knives and bows, arrows, crossbows is not just a hobby.

Shooted a hat of the neighbor in the country at the age of 4 with a miniature bow was the first successful step in studying military history. Fortunately, everyone survived. Coming on a date in adulthood, I surprised guys with my knowledge of knives, that’s often played a trick on me. No normal man likes a woman smarter than him.

Now it gives me special pleasure to simply study various sets and types of weapons, survival, and tactical gear on Amazon, OpticsPlanet, Cabelas, Brownells, and other stores, helping people choose exactly what they need.

At the same time, I show products with natural defects so that the user does not have an ideal picture of what is far from done. After all, no matter how many good reviews were written about the product, the true quality is always important when receiving a parcel.
