This Is How You Make Katniss’ Bow in Real Life
Katniss, the girl on fire, has captured the hearts of countless people the world over. Children, young adults, and grown men and women alike have fallen for the no-nonsense character created by Suzanne Collins.
Aside from her personal traits, though, one can’t deny that her weapon of choice is a major draw. Katniss’ bow = WANT!
And now, you might just be able to get Katniss’ bow in real life, thanks to master swordsmiths, blacksmiths, goldsmiths, and armourers (and everything in between) Man at Arms: Reforged.
This crew has established a reputation for building weapons – from movies as well as new creations. This week, they released a video showing how they made Katniss’ bow in real life.
The video is nothing short of amazing. It starts with a huge block of aluminum and shows the process of crafting it into the iconic bow that Hunger Games fans can only dream of having.
