With Dominik you can learn the craft of bow making and build your own longbow.
The foundation stone for bow making and outdoor life was laid for me in 2018. Out of interest and “compensation” I attended a wilderness week at the Survival School Tyrol with Thomas Patzleiner.
In the Tyrolean mountains I learned how to make a fire with a knife, a bit of string and wood, burn a drinking vessel, build a shelter for the night and much more. But rather I got to know a beneficial deceleration of my own life.
The interest and the “balance” became a passion and so several sections and courses followed until the training as a survival trainer was completed.
Here in Portugal we have created a space that allows me to share my knowledge and experience with others.
In 2-3 days you can build your own longbow worth about €200 and then shoot it.
