Horned Viper - PVC and Wood Bow After Nine Years of Use - Bow Gallery - 43# @30” Plus Build Pictures

[@bevvone]

There's some thing satisfying about the release sound and then the impact thud. Cheers for the vids 😊

[@fabmulah6277]

The best part of the video

[@extrasmack]

I always love whenever you do these bow update vids, specially on your much older bows. It really showcases the possible longevity of pvc bows when good material is selected and the bow is not abused. Great to have you making regular vids again, Nick. 👍

[@CrimsonSkyz500]

I love listening to your knowledge because Ive watched it evolve and grow for years. You can trust it and know its accurate.

[@ludvigtande1236]

PVC bows stored properly last a long time. I made the elfin bows years ago and they still pull 38lbs at 28 inches. Love them.

[@pablofreitasmachado8076]

Hey nick, can you make a tutorial or show me a video of the process where you wrap the limbs in cloth?

[@crusaderjoe52]

I second this!!!

[@musaadfelton3909]

I third this😁😅

[@musaadfelton3909]

Ok guys I found out how to cover it with cloth. So basically like I the pictures he gave. Take a pvc which is the same width of your bow. Then take the material cut to length and put it around the pvc. Either stitch it together on the pvc or make markings with a pen where you would want to stitch it together. Once you have completed the stitching. Turn the material inside out. The seem will be hidden and a nice neat seem will be seen.

[@theMindwalker]

This is exactly what I needed to know--my son is already destroying the paint job on his bow. I'm going to wrap it in cloth or vinyl now. Many thanks for the insight Nick. Excellent, informative video.

[@bardrudy1115]

Wow... 2012 that was the year i discoverd ur channel,kudos to you Nick for all info and knowledge that you have given, and ur looking good nowadays, Now currently building my 4th pvc bow for my daughters, hope they like it as much as i did,Keep up the good work my good Sir, Stay safe and God Bless,

[@Edwinthemountainman8454]

This is an example of your craftmanship great job 👍👏

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thank you!

This man right here got me into bow making back in the day and now I’m considering picking it back up, but he’s nowhere to be found

[@MikeMafiaII]

Love your stuff man, you got me into bowmaking and shooting, thanks for all the quality content over the yearsd!!

[@HistoricalWeapons]

Wow good to see you doing the thumb draw

[@BackyardBowyer]

Working my way up to the 100lb. Taking it slower now. Thanks for watching!

[@Doribi117]

I see it still shoots well, thanks for showing us

[@skylerslack12]

Think you could do a tutorial on how to wrap a bow in cloth or vinyl around the whole bow like that?

[@mrredeef]

Nice, the w-shape looks beautiful. Thanks for showing the pics of the build, gives a good idea of how to build it based on the techniques you normally use.

[@Lost_Hwasal]

You should do a making of that bow. I see the wood siyahs and it looks like you might have done something special with the handle as well. Would be interested to see how you put everything together.

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thank you! Honestly I don't do them like this anymore, but it would be cool to see what a bow like this would look like. I like the purity of just using PVC, but wood siyahs make for a faster bow and they look good.

Thanks for all the great knowledge man. I am new to pvc bow making. I’ve only been shooting archery for 6 months. Started with a takedown recurve and am loving all the great videos you have posted!

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@bladeRoller]

Nice. I was wondering how we could make tips like this.

[@tjsingh417]

I wish you do arrow shafts making either of bamboo or wooden.

[@larryweimer4511]

That's very impressive after eight years. Thank you. Nice...

[@TheMrWoodsman]

Looking at your right had after you let go of the arrow, I realize where I have been going wrong for many years. Thank you. It might be worth making a video on this subject. Paul

[@BackyardBowyer]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@guidogutierrez2554]

Beautiful design! Love it! How did you wrapped it? Could you make a video showing it?

[@leonardocortopassi8752]

It's very nice to see you shooting with thumb release technique (and performing a little Khatra).

[@dom_the_daimao158]

And it's still flexible and sturdy. Good build that was the question I had going into this video because its PVC with wood added on and the other question I had was answered aswell overall a great video

[@brian280453]

Another great video Nick, many thanks.

[@renatoloo579]

Could be nice if you show us the 80 pound longbow you made some years ago in order of practice for the 100 pound bow you just finish, still want to see the speed of that bow btw.

[@Lionall]

Cool looking bow, I love the wrapping on it especially. May I ask what sort of wood do you use for the siyahs?

[@kirkdsnyder3844]

I can see why you like this bow. Marrying PVC and wood as you did is brilliant. The cloth protection is practical. Is it canvass that was water proof or resident?

[@briank.7937]

Damn dude I haven't watched in years and you have dope beard and lost like 50lbs! Glad to see your still at it.

[@jockeberg4089]

[@aarongreenakacavemonster904]

Beautiful

[@Daylon91]

Nice khatra and thumb draw man. Bow looks awesome. I just gotta make a better handle wrap to protect mine better. Making the PVC with wood siyas next!

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thank you for watching!

[@musaadfelton3909]

Hey Nick. I've looked through your channel. Do you perhaps have a video on how you covered the bow with material so beautifully.

[@bagyi6010]

Good archer 👍🏹

[@rustyboi3521]

how’d you make this incredible bow

[@bigcatchoutdoors8424]

Love the content!! Keep it up!!

[@acheface]

Nice bow.

[@BackyardBowyer]

Thanks!

[@jamesshields1969]

My dear friend, will you do you consider making a bow for a viewer who is willing to pay for your work? I’ve made a view PVC bows before, actually 4 or 5 of your designs even. However, I failed miserably at making any of your reflex/deflex type bows. Regardless, I really would love one of your Horn style horse bows.

[@MythWorks]

What do you do with all the bows you make?

[@andrejochimsen3478]

do you use automotive plastic primer on the pvc, and a thin layer clearcoat on the paint?

[@DivinoArqueria96]

muito bonito arco tenha vontade de fazer um mas por aqui e muito dificil encontrar pvc com especura grossa ;

[@caswallonandflur692]

One similar to that but longer with a fiber rod or two might work out wonderful ! around 50 lbs

[@BackyardBowyer]

You could do that, you can also get 55 pounds by going shorter or making the bow more highly reflexed. Thank you for watching!

[@swifteagleworks]

Do you remove the cord when storing it?

[@roylesterjr7052]

What's the difference between pvc/cpvc/electrical conduit pipe?? Are they all good for bow making?

[@Daylon91]

Curious how this compares to the other wooden siya bow with more recurved tips. I know because of the recurves tips u gotta put a pre flex in the bow so maybe there isnt a difference?

[@georgecuyler7563]

Have you ever tried putting rawhide on a bow to strengthen up a PVC bow?

[@BackyardBowyer]

I have not tried rawhide. So far in my experience hide and PVA glues just peel off of PVC pipe. It would be interesting if it works!

Hey Nick whats the best kind of cloth do you recommend for coverings.. Whats your opinion on them limb skins ?

[@BackyardBowyer]

I've used all sorts of cloth, I've noticed that darker outdoor fabrics are best. Lighter colors get dirty very fast. Thanks for watching and for the video suggestion!

[@bigcatchoutdoors8424]

Do you keep them stored with string or dp you de-string them for storage?

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Always unstring.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

You may have mentioned it in the earlier videos, but what is the supplier you use for furniture grade PVC? I know that the plumbing/electrical stuff from Home Depot is more brittle than I feel comfortable with these days.

[@BackyardBowyer]

I use Formufit brand PVC pipe. There is another company that has more color options including brown. They don't have a retail side, so I may have to buy a pallet's worth.

Maybe a stupid question but you had it with the string on this whole period of time (time and usage)?

This bow has probably spent about 4 years with the string on, hanging from a wall and shot daily. Otherwise it's been either in my bow closet or in a shed unstrung.

[@jasonpatterson8091]

He makes all sorts of different styles of primitive tools. If he did the same thing every time it would be boring. That said, I'm sure that if you shout loudly and often enough for another wood/pvc bow he'll at least see it and consider it for a future project.
