Title: Acquiring sinew?
Post by: rascal on September 29, 2007, 02:21:00 PM
What sinew are you keeping out of a deer and how do you preserve/prepare it for later use in your bows.  I would like to acquire enough to back a longbow and have some to try my hand at arrow making as well.  Any information would be appreciated.

go to the HOW TO section to the deer cut up along, He talks about what, where and how.

I get my sinew at a local butcher during the rifle season.  Ask if you can have all of the cut off legs and you will get all of the sinew you could want.
