Morning All.
Bhutan is probably the most Archery Enthusiastic nation on Earth. Plus they measure their country in terms of Gross National Happiness rather than Gross National Product

Interesting , but i still dont know anything about it, perhaps someone has an idea.
Two pieces of Bamboo bound together at the handle. By using two pieces you can get the bow to bend symmetrically which can be difficult if you use a single piece of bamboo as the diameter of the originating stalk changes, the node spacing change and the wall thickness changes as you move along the stalk. They are very effective, fun to make and relatively easy.
