[@gnarlywagner8171]

The power of the bow comes from the fact that its a completely straight stick bent with a string so it already has potential energy

[@NateTheScot]

I was actually hopeful when they mentioned a recurve and recurve string .. then they attached it to the wrong side without actually bending the bow... apparently they wanted to make a bow without even the most BASIC level of understanding of how/why bows work, or even a quick Google search of how to string one... although he mentioned that he'd seen videos of people making them... so I guess he saw the videos without taking ANY of the information on?? I'm kinda confused tbh.

As an Archery coach from the uk, this is a great coaching video on what not to do. I'm surprised you got through it without any injuries. and thats more a primitive bow and not a welsh/ english longbow. that being said, i do enjoy seeing the archery vids by you guys. please continue. You should start with learning how to shoot a longbow than have a go at Popinjay.

[@ModernRogue]

Thanks for the encouragement! Feel free to hit us up with suggestions at [e-mail]. Looking forward to revisiting this!

[@minotaur470]

But there were 2 injuries

[@Connor-vw6yi]

why would you want to make a long bow, go for the challenge and make a mongolian bow

[@Bloodless479]

J noted that they were shooting the arrow on the wrong side of the bow.

[@overknight5278]

Jacob Bothast the “wrong” side isnt really the “wrong” side, theres people who prefer shooting it opposite, there are people that use right handed bows on their right hand (rather then holding the string) Its weird... Technically not the proper way and honestly this could have ended really bad 😂, also it was already curved inward, i dont know much about longbows and Mongolian bows but my recurve and others are curved outward and curve inward when strung 😂 Edit: i just remembered english hunters and military who used bows would actually shoot the way brian did on the opposite side b/c it was better for speed shooting, lars anderson also does this

[@marticon666]

You realised your mistake with the bows curve being too large and for your first bow made it wasn't bad. And i see you guys using the archery technique from the horseback archery episode. I'd give you a 8/10 on this one, maybe even a nine.

[@ModernRogue]

YAY! Thanks!

[@Toebesjoer]

They should try and guide the arrow with their index finger without it being in the way, improves your accuracy massively. EDIT: As in put the arrow at the side of where your hand is that is holding the bow

[@ryanrussell2032]

Despite any internal flaws with the bow, one issue with accuracy is that their arrow is being shot from the wrong side. A right-handed shooter crosses the arrow to the left side of the bow, and vice-versa for left-handed shooters. You can't look down the arrow if it is not aligned with the bow, permanently aiming to the right.

[@ModernRogue]

Aha! Yeah. We definitely should learn proper archery techniques.

[@JAWTHERENEGADE]

Not all archers shot with the arrow crossing sides. The mongolians had the arrow on the same side.

[@milkrun2370]

Many eastern styles of archery have it shot from the right side as it allowed them to fire off arrows faster. Aiming was more about intuition and instinctive while western styles usually had it on the left side. Obviously, they aren't experienced in archery so having the arrow on the left would have been better for this since it is easier to pick up.

[@harveychallinor367]

what side you place your arrow on is personal opinion, also looking down an arrow is plain impractical

[@cerberv5040]

Well, technically this can be countered by using your thumb draw. Which i suspect was the way they were learning the horse archery.

[@O4C209]

As an archery instructor, I have to say this episode was very painful to watch. I ofcourse could not look away. Considering your bad form and missing a shelf/rest to place your arrow on, I think your bow was quite good.

[@bauminsonx9662]

I liked when you revisited the potato cannon. So I'd love an Episode where you improve the PVC Bow and maybe test it on the homemade Body Armor. Or maybe you also try making flaming arrows or something.

[@kalleklp7291]

I made bows out of PVC pipe for electrical installations when I was a kid back in the '70s. I can guarantee it was a real weapon. A 2 " nail at the end of a wooden rod was perfect for an arrow. Bricklayers rope served perfectly and were durable.

[@Adamabe1221]

I love so much that the beginning started with Jason being afraid of altering the integrity of the pvc and then they later decide to heat it to curve the unit and decrease the draw power of it. I love how much improvising you guys do 😂 I’ve wanted to work with you guys so long you’re so funny

[@bauminsonx9662]

Please also do an Episode on Disguises. You'd both come up with an disguise and to test them you might meet at a cafe or something. While one of you puts on their disguise in the cafe's restroom the other leaves the cafe and sits down on a bench around the corner. The person on the bench would wear a vest or a coat with about 3-5 decent sized buttons. Of which he would unbutton any number he wants. The disguised person than has to walk past the person on the bench, count the buttons and walk around the next corner. From there he has to text the number of still buttoned buttons to win. The guy on the bench maybe has to take a picture of the disguised guy to prove that he recognised him. Or he just calls him out when he walks by. Either way is fine. Then you'd switch roles.

[@TheStrangerous]

Heh. That sounds like fun. I've been trying to structure a disguise episode for a while now.

[@coyotejohn3101]

Some tips for future archery endeavors. Use feather fetching instead of plastic vanes. The feathers collapse as they pass the riser (where your hand is on the bow) and don't kick out as bad. Secondly, when using your fingers instead of a thumb draw, you want to place the arrow on the top of your knuckles on your bow hand. Lastly, avoid bulky gloves as they prevent a smooth release. Oh, and keep that elbow up...straight line from bow hand to elbow.

[@wolf1066]

The reason there's one larger loop on the bowstring is that some bows are strung by sliding the larger loop down the arm of the bow, fitting the smaller loop at the end of the other arm and then, when you bend the bow, you slide the large loop up the arm and into the retaining slots - rather than trying to bend the bow far enough to get the loop over the _end_ of the arm.

What happened to the card shotgun? You know, from the prison build video?

[@eleutherioszogkas546]

As an ex-archer i am having SO much fun. Absolutely love every single video.

[@miltonwetherbee5489]

I really enjoyed this video. And, while I haven't made a pvc bow myself, I have a few suggestions that could help. First, with as easy as it was to bend, you probably could make a recurve without much trouble, and not only will it improve the power of the bow, it'll be less likely for the acting to slide off. Two, if you don't have a dremel tool (why wouldn't you, they are awesome!) you should definitely invest in one and get some carving bits. You could, for example, use one to make a quick, smooth notch for the string that's less likely to wear out the loop of the string. Third, if you're shooting right-handed (and not on horse back), the arrow goes along the left side of the bow, not the right. Fourth, you really should work on your form to get more consistent shooting (not that what you were doing want fun to watch). Fifth, after making the bow, find out what the draw weight is so you can get the right arrows for it. The last one is a bit complicated, but the reason has to do with what's called the archer's paradox. When launched from a bow, arrows bend back and forth...meaning the tip doesn't go in a straight line. All arrows have a spine rating which determines how much that happens based mainly on the weight off the bow. You actually want some "bendiness" as the string and shaft are in line which causes the arrow to get deflected, which the "bendiness" corrects for (simplified explication). Again, I think this was talked about in the mounted archery episode. Anyway, I'd love to see an episode where you revisit now making and see if you can improve on your pvc bow. Basically, I'm hoping you can manage to more effectively shot the dummy (and not reset the injury counter 😝).

My brothers and I have been using PVC bows for our own version of LARP that we play; at one point we put foam pads on curtain hangers to use as arrows.

[@zero_gravity5861]

Brian, don’t leave the bow strung, it’s not good for it. Especially with PVC, at room temp it’s slightly pliable, and if you refrigerate it, it becomes brittle. So definitely don’t leave it strung. Just a tip. Also, I expect that only you read the comments. Sorry, Jason.

you know kids next door with their If im correct, two by four tech? we need what this channel does, PVC tech in the PVC age XD! just everything is PVC lol.

[@heartstall]

This episode was so laid back, I loved it

[@charlieallen2558]

I am a little ashamed that you guys had to ask for me to let you know how great I think you are. You both are truly awesome!

[@thehorizonsniper824]

THANK YOU BRIAN AND MURPHY!!!! YOU JUST REPLACED ALL MY OTHER KZbin CHANNELS!!! 😄😄😄😄

[@TheStrangerous]

Outstanding!

[@yna1892]

you should check out ZNA productions, on his channel he puts fiberglass rods in the pvc to increase the draw weight of the bow, he has done multiple designs.

[@michaelmourtadh2583]

Jonathan Otten but if you did the stringing like how they did it it would break if you do this use the in-between the leg method

[@yna1892]

true, by actually bending the PVC instead of heating it up and forming it, it should already become more powerful

[@dustinthewind357]

I'm cringing. You guys did everything wrong. That was great. I love your videos.

[@alexlawson4173]

Dustin the WIN! Still wasn't the "simplest way" I made mine a few years ago with a thinner pipe, paracord, and a file. Just cut notches in each end and tied the cord. Works great.

[@PTMOFF]

Alex Lawson You can put fiberglass rods inside to increase power as well

[@alexlawson4173]

I was actually planning on doing that but decided I didn't need the extra power. Instead, since I didn't have any arrows, I cut the rods into arrow length. p.s. bad idea. my hands were covered in fiberglass slivers xD

[@PTMOFF]

Alex Lawson oof, fiberglass slivers are the worst

[@kingoftheseptic738]

also they bouce into your face

[@McMega33]

GREAT VIDEO! Best way to learn is to learn from your mistakes... and in this video we learn from their mistakes lol.. ive been watching diy pvc bow videos all week and i usually have the same questions after each video. These guys basically answered every small in between step questions that i had thought up frequently. Liked and Subscribed... --Id say watch the video that has the most legit bow to your choosing. and then watch this video after you have the first one memorized basically//ready to start.

[@edmclaughlin4923]

Brian is either super comfortable after his vacation or he is wasted. Edit: yeah, I'm definitely leaning. Plus you guys had way too much fun in this one. Good Production.

[@BelieveThePanda]

My History Professor would start every class period with a Sniglet and to this day it has always been my favorite class

[@jayzee8367]

coincidentally The King Of Random just uploaded a pvc bow video .

[@Tri_monster]

Jay Zee he probably did way better, didn't he?

[@prestonking1906]

ZNA Productions made a video on how to make this bow in 2016.

[@Volvary]

It happened to Jake Roper (VSauce3) and CGP Grey a while ago. Here's what Jake had to say about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanLpqeinL-qrJY

[@isakh7890]

Apple Juuce man... i love zna. I wantched him way way way before he changed his name

[@WalkerRileyMC]

I prefer these guys for several reasons but one in particular: Modern Rogue puts their ads at the very end of the video. KoR shoves a five to ten minute mattress commercial RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE of his videos.

[@bengosling4606]

*You guys are great* 😋 Seriously though J & B you guys are awesome and funny to watch. Love scam school and modern rogue can't wait for every new episode.

[@natebingaman4524]

I’ve built many pvc bows before. And this was painful. I love everything you guys do and this was really entertaining. But painful.

[@mintyfresh4855]

Should have brought Backyard Bowyer to this show. He's very adept and has a couple of books on building bows from PVC. Learned a lot from his videos.

[@batswithsass3754]

Should've done 1/2 inch, I used to make these all the time and you can easily get 40lb draw with the effectiveness of a 75lb And you're right handed so put the arrow on the left side of the bow and slightly tilt it

[@hooveyjones]

As an archer, how much am I legally allowed to cringe?

[@BrandtHughes]

Only 8%.

[@SaitosaBard]

9% on leap years.

[@ryanmccarthy8533]

Ikr I love this channel but this video hurts me on many levels

[@hooveyjones]

I guess I’m now officially a fugitive then...

[@kvrabel3017]

harvey jones I think you’re legally obligated to cringe.

[@stevejenkins9984]

Its fun to watch u guys figure shit out. U don't have a clue what you doing but you guys don't let that stop you! I am a bow Builder this was hilarious!

[@good_ol_sheev]

There's something about The Modern Rogue that makes it so much different, and so much better, than 99% of other content on KZbin; but I can't quite put my finger on it...

[@kenken8765]

I'm more impressed that they're still using the thumb draw method
