Cours d'arc primitif

Primitive Bow Course September 2024

Its happening! Two awesome people from Season 11 ALONE who forged friendships in Inuvik are now embarking on a joint venture to bring wilderness teachings and skills to you! Michela Carriere of Aski Holistic Adventures hosts this incredible weekend and Cubby Hoover of Cubbersons Custom Archery is your bow-making instructor. 

In our 3-day bow-making class, participants will learn to craft a primitive ash longbow using traditional hand tools. The course covers selecting and preparing the ash wood, shaping the bow, and finishing techniques. By the end of the class, attendees will have a fully functional longbow. Additionally, the course includes hands-on instruction on how to shoot the bow, covering basic archery techniques and safety practices. This immersive experience offers both practical skills and a connection to historical craftsmanship.

This all takes place in the Saskatchewan River Delta, at Michela's trapline. All food is provided along…
