The Impossible Bow : Building Archery Bows With PVC Pipe

Hey everyone, I just finished my fifth book, The Impossible Bow : Building Archery Bows WIth PVC Pipe http://amzn.to/qlW0HL. Like the title suggests, the book goes over how to make bows out of PVC pipes. I show how to make some bows like the bow in my earlier video, but I also go into making more performance-based bows as well.

The book shows how to build heavier bows that can be used for hunting, that draw smoothly and have little handshock. It also goes over building short bows similar to the Mongolian and other Asiatic composite bows.

I've gotten a lot of questions about the new, non-PVC looking PVC bows I've been showing in some of my newer videos and how to make them. This book shows you how, so check it out! Also, stay tuned for more videos on how to make more archery equipment.

Thanks for watching my video!

That's definitely not a 70 lb bow because you didn't even use your back and it was easy to pull god people don't know shit these days

[BackyardBowyer]

@D4nnyB0y1997 It is a 70 lb bow. It was not easy to pull, but I have drawn heavy bows enough times to make it look smooth in the video. Sitting also changes the way you draw a bow vs standing or kneeling. This thing has a straight F/D curve. Goes from little under ten pounds at brace to 70 at full draw. Consequently it is rather slow, but no worse than many selfbows that require a much greater investment of time and energy. A PVC pipe and an hour or so of time is all it really takes.

@D4nnyB0y1997 ur an asshole

[randomredhead82]

ok im an archer i've shot mongolian reflex bows thats not thick enough with wood let alone pvc,get a scale and pillar of wood place the pillar on the scale, place your bow handle on the pillar and press down on the srting doing that the scale will tell u the pull my bet less than 40

[D4nnyB0y1997]

I have a 60 pound recurve I've been using it for a year and I'm 14 6'1" and 215 pounds so it's easy but a slight challenge there's no way that bow is 70 pounds

[outdoorcentral1]

@D4nnyB0y1997 im with you on that one. he didnt even struggle. i make 50 to 60 pound longbows and recurves and i still cant hold a full draw for more than 3 seconds like you did.
