Our United Bowhunters of Missuri has made and given out a lot of them. We gave away 75 at our archery program at the,deaf,camp last weekend.

The plans are,supposed,to be on our web page but I could not find,them. Darren Haverstick our president could give you info but he is away bear hunting right now.

I made one a while back. So far it has held up well for the kid next door and I've got enough pvc left to make a couple more- they are great for kids.

I have a build along on here some where.  Great for kids and for bow fishing.
