Ha ha! Thank you! Very kind of you to say! Just remember when he’s picking on you that one day you’ll get to choose his nursing home. May I suggest somewhere with fish on the menu every day and regular rectal examinations by nurses with GIANT hands? 😁
Emily Lindstrom Ha ha! Yes I felt uncomfortable even buying that shirt for the shoot! Thank you so much for the positivity and taking the time to watch the video. 😊
@@MattBerryCustom Thank you for making great content! I always start my day by watching all the videos I've gotten email notifications for overnight, it's a great way to wake up.
Thanks Al! But I’m a humble guy and I know I’m a little fish in a sea of talent. Your build was exceptional. If I’m going to lose, yours is one of the ones I would be happy to lose to. 😊👍🏻 Ps. You’ve got green on you.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. I’m not a prolific creator of videos, I just try and get the quality better and better each time. Thanks for the positivity and good luck with your own entry! Anybody reading this comment be sure to check out Red’s entry, this guy is amazing!
That's awesome! I really like how you made it a melee weapon as well as a regular bow. Your videos are so entertaining to watch! That white shirt didn't stay white for very long LOL That cracked me up. Sorry I don't comment as much as I probably should, I don't actually have the internet at home so it's hard for me to stay really active on the ol' social medias. I've got a little compound bow but I've never thought of making one..... Just amazing.. I'm lost for words. With your talent you should be in the millions of subscribers by now!
Barefoot Bushcraft Thanks man! Appreciate you taking a look and don’t worry if you don’t comment on my videos, you have no obligation to do so, just as long as you’re entertained by them, which you seem to be! Thank you 🙏🏻 As for millions of subscribers, if I make a 1000 I’m happy! 😂 Take care and keep on creating man!
Thank you! Both the build and the video were great fun to do, the effects were just a 0.99p App and some careful editing! Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and comment, very much appreciated!
Cheers Steve! That means a lot to me! Listening to a lot of FWT when building this so in some way the Battle Bow has essence of Steve, Al and Brett in it........... Ewwwww! Not sure I like the sound of that............. 😉
OMG this was awesome!!! You've got purple on you! Excellent work, fantastic and creative video! We hope ours can stand up to this one. Good luck on the challenge!
Thank you folks! Already had a look at your video, it more than stands up against mine! Anybody reading these comments check out Phunkiss’s channel, amazing creators and lovely people!
Okay, we just watched this again (for the third time), and are just blown away by the ingenuity of the weapon, and the fantastic quality of the story too. Your camerawork and editing is top notch! Superb!!!
Thank you lovely people for such lovely comments. I’m a pretty humble guy really and I’m overwhelmed with the positivity and responses I’m getting for this project. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 😊
Cool! Thanks very much for the awesome feedback. More videos on their way very soon, a mixture of wood and metalwork and I’ll be attempting my first series knife build soon! Welcome aboard friend 👍🏻
Sumo's Projects Hi Dirk, thank you for your comments, but I’m humble, I’m a small fish in a sea of talent! I will be putting a lot more videos out in between client work and I will send you a link on Instagram with my music source. Thanks again mate!
Bahahaha 😆 Love it mate! brilliant. The shirt and the whiteboard at 4:42 and the tie melting lolol, Nice work on the thing too man it looks good and badass. (note that as I watch this there are 666 views 🤘)
Ha ha! Cheers Rob mate! We had a great time filming it and looking forward to doing it again next year! Well done though mate, think you’re one of the only people to notice the whiteboard! And yes I did see the 666 views 😳 Hope you’re well mate 👍🏻
Thank you, that’s a very kind thing to say. Yes I would like more recognition, I’ll keep creating videos that get better and better and do my best to make it happen. Thanks again 👍🏻
Much appreciated my friend, Andy is a top bloke! Hope you enjoy my previous creations, I try and post a new video every three weeks or so, I’m a big believer in quality rather than quantity! Thanks again!
Thank you for your kind comments, yes many people have said the same thing and I’ve been offered all kinds of sums. But this one stays firmly with my boy (the blond zombie at the start of the video). Thanks again!
Good morning, firstly thank you for your very kind comment. To the best of my knowledge no cultures used such a bow, most archers would have had something like a dagger, short sword or tomahawk as a close range melee weapon. As an engineer I try and look at all aspects of a problem (even fictional zombie ones!) and attempt to cover every eventuality, this design seemed to cover it. Quiet longer distance shots with ability to reclaim and make arrows easily, formidable close combat ability with protection over the hands for defence against attacks from other non-zombie combatants. Overall I was very pleased with the result, it’s just a bit too heavy as it stands!
Nice one Shaun! Very kind words. Yeah mate, have a go when you’re around. I’ve started designing that other little project we were discussing by the way! 😉
Ha ha! That is a combination of one of the nicest and most unusual things that’s ever been said to me! 😂 In respect of your wishes, should you ever turn it would be my honour to give you peace with the battle bow. Thanks for your support! 👍🏻
I’m glad you like it! It’s a great weapon. As a design suggestion think about making the handgrips more oval or pistol grip type to minimise the twisting in your hands. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
Ahhhhh! I was really hoping somebody would comment thIs! Nice one Jim! Build a recurve mate, I built a nice yew one years ago, it’s a very enjoyable (and often frustrating) process but well worth the while. Thanks for your support!
Excuse my language.... I don't even know why I bother excusing my language anymore... no other words will do in this instance.... fucking loved the video mate very entertaining, well shot and edited and a perfect length.
No excusing yourself necessary here my friend, I’ve been known to use words (hourly basis) that would make a salty dock worker shake his head in disgust! Thanks for watching and thanks for the positive feedback, special thanks to for the insta shoutout. Health and happiness to you and yours mate 👍🏻
I’ve no immediate plans to do a how to video of this one, but I have started a few initial designs for version two, a much better design. I’m aiming to release the video within the next couple of months. Got a load of other requested videos to release first 👍🏻
Amazing work Uncle Matt. I only found out about this because my dad poked me in the testicle with the poker you made him 🤣
Ha ha! Thank you! Very kind of you to say!
Just remember when he’s picking on you that one day you’ll get to choose his nursing home.
May I suggest somewhere with fish on the menu every day and regular rectal examinations by nurses with GIANT hands? 😁
Fantastic story telling to go with an awesome build! I need one of these in my life. Plus now I need to watch Shaun of the dead again!
Thanks Andrew! Appreciate the support my friend! The amount of people “needing” a Battle bow is crazy, can’t see ETSY letting me sell them somehow 😂
RIP ugly white dress shirt... Epic video and bow! Great work. TH-cam needs a love button.
Emily Lindstrom Ha ha! Yes I felt uncomfortable even buying that shirt for the shoot! Thank you so much for the positivity and taking the time to watch the video. 😊

Awesome build Matt. Think you've got this one in the bag. Oh... Youve got blue on you.

Bloody brilliant Matt. Loved watching and that is an epic looking bow (im an ex archer).

Frigging brilliant!

@@MattBerryCustom your design is really unique!!

P. J. Galati Ha ha! If I’ve entertained you and made you laugh then my job is done! Thanks for watching and thank you for such positivity! 😁👍🏻
I'm amazed mind blown I would pay alot of money for one of these bows
Thank you for your kind comments, yes many people have said the same thing and I’ve been offered all kinds of sums. But this one stays firmly with my boy (the blond zombie at the start of the video). Thanks again!
Are there any historical reverences to this masterpiece?
I mean: did any culture in the world use weapons like this?

Thank you Pete....as long as you think its epically good and not epically crap! Ha ha! 😉

Ha ha! That is a combination of one of the nicest and most unusual things that’s ever been said to me! 😂 In respect of your wishes, should you ever turn it would be my honour to give you peace with the battle bow. Thanks for your support! 👍🏻
oh hell yeah
Im going to make one now based on this design
KICK ASS!

As a design suggestion think about making the handgrips more oval or pistol grip type to minimise the twisting in your hands. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻
@@MattBerryCustom That's a good idea
That was dope!
Thank you! Great fun to make and film, thanks for watching!
That was awesome!
Thank you very much 😊 It was great fun to do!
