Old hobby reforged into something new!

Some time ago, I used to practice traditional archery (great sport, by the way!).

The thing is, at the beginning of your journey — or when you start shooting from longer distances — you sometimes (or frankly, quite often 😉) miss… And when you miss, your arrows can hit all sorts of things behind the target.

Ideally, that should be soft soil (or a 3-meter-high earthwork if you’re lucky), but in my case, it was often a tree trunk, a wooden stand, a glass bottle (damn vandals!), or a rock. And when a typical wooden arrow hits something like that — it usually breaks. Sometimes it can be repaired, but more often, it’s beyond saving.

For some reason, I never got rid of those broken arrows — and now, a couple of years later, I finally have an idea how to use them in a new way.

Maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s just curiosity — but I love the thought of turning something that once had purpose and precision into something entirely different.

And as a small bonus, I’ll get to be a bit more eco-friendly this time — recycling old, damaged materials instead of throwing them away. It’s always extra satisfying when you can create something new from what was once considered waste.

More info will be revealed soon! 😉
