The relief I felt when I realised that you hadn't burnt those beautiful bows is indescribable. Thank you for the lessons, and for letting us join your journey.

@Fenlander216 3 года назад

As an archer myself the thought of burning those beautiful bows brought a tear to my eye, then you said "I couldn't do it." The relief I had brought a smile to my face.

@azcoueshntr 4 года назад

Mick, I had severe back problems shooting heavy longbows when I was in my 20’s & I had never been injured. I healed for about a year, cut back on the draw weight to about 45# and most importantly exercised both sides of my back. I would pull the bow with both my right hand then left. If I took my shirt off the back muscle on my right side was about 4” longer than the left. This was pulling my back vertebrae out of alignment causing spasms. Now I go the gym and work both sides of the back equally. Take care my friend, from Arizona

@falkharvard8722 4 года назад

Remember to work the opposite muscles too (pectoral & front deltoids) for extra stability :)

@davegrenier1160 4 года назад

I had a bad car accident decades ago and injured my back. I was a gym-goer but thought "I have to take it easy now." After a year of "taking it easy" and not getting better, I thought, "F**k it, I'm going to work out hard even if it hurts." And my back got better. Working out and getting strong again was just what it needed. I'm 63 now, still work (hard, although with reduced capacity, if not reduced strength) and my back is pretty much fine. So I always advise people - don't rest it, work it and make it stronger. Be smart about it, don't injure yourself by going too hard, too quickly, but rebuild what's broken. Resting too much will likely lead to more problems later.

@charlesrouse5503 4 года назад

My mentor taught me to draw the bow in the opposite arm several times to shift my back back to the way it was supposed to be... He was a great teacher and alot of knowledge was lost with him passing.

@bashkillszombies 4 года назад

I got mangled in a motorcycle accident. I live in a country with socialised healthcare and can't afford the private clinic treatment entry of $7K and waiting 3 years to be seen seems pointless (where I live the fastest way for migrants to get on a permanent disability pension after their first 20 years of migrant pension is to fake a back injury so the healthcare system is flooded with fake claimants) so I ended up falling through the Medicare cracks like many. Hell, 80% of our illegal drug users in this country aren't recreational but people who cannot get treatment for chronic acute pain. The one thing that stops me from shooting myself--besides the government confiscating all guns, knives, pointy sticks and steel capped boots--is that working your core can take some of the strain off your spine. I still can't stand for more than 10 minutes without significant discomfort (which is daft given I spent from 18 to 26 in law enforcement and was on my feet for 12 hours a day without breaking a sweat) but it's the difference between existing and roping myself. Exercise is crucial.

Thank you Mick! I’m 19 and you inspired me to try to make an English Long bow last year. It took me ages but I finally made one that drew 70lb at 28. I was so proud and I carry that experience with me always. I hope you get better and I hope you find another skill that you can refine. You are a great man. Thank you, from one novice bowyer to another!

I hope you will find your way back to it, and in the meantime I hope to be able to research the other videos you have already provided. Best of luck in your endeavors, and I hope you'll feel fit enough, and have the desire, to return to making bows.

I also want to thank you for inspiring so many people (including me) to learn this ancient art, which brings so much history and joy in itself, but also a lot of self-knowledge and personal discoveries which each of us have made down the road, it's astonishing really how much one can learn working on a simple piece of wood. I hope you will continue to share with us your experiences about life and the world, and i'm eager to see what comes next. I wish you all the best, my friend.

I discovered your bowmaking videos about two years ago and was indecisive werther they were great tutorials or even better videos. You are a man of many talents, but from my experience I know bowmaking and shooting bows is very adictive. I recommend low poundage bows (30 or so pounds). They will allow you to stay in the "game" without hurting your back. I wish you good health and many more great videos (hopefuly about bowmaking and other woodwork). Many regards from Zagreb.

You should just keep them for the memories. One day you might feel like auctioning a few of them to people who would be honored to own one. One day you might even decide to hand a few down to younger kids, so as to hopefully inspire them to engage in making and shooting the longbow: it's such an intuitive thing, so satisfying to the human senses, yet a lot of people now days will live their lives without ever having shot a bow - such a tragedy, if you ask me.

I'd only just found your videos Mick....I'm going out later for wood to make a shave horse...then onto bows. Inspired and educated by you! I'm sorry to hear of your back problems and was horrified at the title of this video.....such a relief that you couldn't do it! Stay safe and keep walking Ben! Thanks!

I haven't made the shaving horse yet....... But I have just cut and split my first ash bow staves.....seasoning now...so I'll have to get on with the shaving horse....then car boot sales for a drawer knife!!
