Title: PVC!?! Check this out, its good for fishing!
Post by: Cuban Missile on May 19, 2012, 08:52:00 PM
I know I know but this bow was a request, plus my nephew is only 13 and he won't take care of a wood bow.  This way he can throw it around and it won't break, and he will never have to worry about it exploding on him.

I am way over weight so I have to make another one but the siyahs are what takes the most time.

I haven't really ever shot off the hand but I kinda liked it!  It just feels... right (even though it was off of PVC)  

Let me know if you guys want to see a build along on the second one.

Very cool! Of course we want a build-along. That will be way cool for making kid bows on a large scale.

You can look up backyardbowyer on YouTube.  He makes different kinds of PVC bows. I've made one myself.
