My father used to make me bows from sheoak branches. More flexible than wattle and eucalypt. Could put an Ok weight on it before it snapped - well within what a kid could draw.
Built crossbows when I was a kid using the leaf springs from mini minors. Probably illegal now. At what point does a bow become a weapon needing a licence?
