In this video, I will teach you how to not only make my best homemade miniature bow and arrow to date, but also how to shoot it and upgrade it for even better performance. This mini bow outperforms my previous bows in terms of accuracy, durability, and simplicity/ease of creation. It's amazingly accurate for such a tiny bow and arrow! The cost of making this bow is VERY cheap - less than 25 cents in raw materials! It makes a great Christmas present for all ages, and a fun desk ornament to eliminate those times of mental block and boredom.
