Step One: Come up with an idea
This was the hardest step. Sure there are examples of ranger bows, but I wanted to capture something different and relate to the film concepts and background.
The Ranger film had a cool logo/artwork already designed and I wanted to incorporate that into the bow design somehow.
Step Two: Concept Drawing
I have never been accused of being a great artist, and my concept drawing is no different.
I wanted to show the leather wraps and artwork ideas
Step Three: Mockup
This was the easiest part — just build the bow
I took pictures along the way
The pictures tell the story
64″ Hickory Longbow

Pictures with wraps and artwork — approved by The Ranger crew
This has been a great project and a big thanks goes out to the Forge Studios Team for giving us this opportunity!
