how to make a takedown bow Thanks for watching

[@bruceprosser8332]

Great work on this and also being a traditional archer for hunting here in the states, you have a good eye for shooting. It is not easy hitting a soda bottle like you did in those shots. Keep up the good work. I think I have to make one of these soon. BTW I make my own wooden longbows so this should be a snap comparatively speaking!

[@alponching002]

Why do you nade to hate up the pay-vay-say with they hate gun? hmm sorrey for they stupaid question.

[@davidbruceclark]

I've been watching these bow-making vids on KZbin for about an hour and this one is the best. Subscribed.

[@ezraa123]

For those asking about how long they last, I've made a number of PVC bows and they last great in warmer weather. I live in Michigan so it's pretty cold here part of the year. Mine worked great when it was warm but were stiff when it got cold. I also noticed just working with PVC that I've had it break when I was working with it when it was very frozen cold. So, I'd keep the bowing to non frozen weather. They made good cheap bows for the kids to practice with in the summer. I'd just be careful with the stronger draws in winter.

[@MrArthurGiles]

Re the comments about the recurve, the improvements over a simple bow are twofold, first the action of the bow-tips on release is straight forward whereas from a simple bow it is outwards and forward together so the simple bow doesn't have as much forward action. The second gain is that at full draw a recurve bow is at it's longest, allowing the archer to draw a greater weight, but in effect as the string wraps around the recurve on release it makes the bow shorter, and shorter bows are faster in action.

[@NateBuker]

Legit concept. I've seen similar elsewhere. This is an actual weapon.

Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Super easy to follow along with. I'm in the middle of making a bow like this for a play. They don't need it to be functional but as cheep and easy as this is I'm glad I'm doing it this way. Liked and Favorited.

[@kemosabi2237]

Thanks for posting. It gonna make me look at PVC a little different from now on. If you mass produce these things, you could probably start up a PVC drop-off, and recycling center. And make the products of different sorts from the discarded PVC tubing. But, they look like they'd be great for bow fishing. Good day mate.

Unfortunately this bow likely isnt powerful enough to kill anything bigger than small game and will not last long. Still cool though

[@jamesc4314]

The bow looks solid enough but I think the power may be a bit low. Could you tell me how much draw strength it puts out?

[@elias7858]

i remember watching this all the time as a kid

[@IIDASHII]

No problem. Yes, you can use regular PVC. Schedule 80 will make a stronger bow, but schedule 40 works too. Check out Backyardbowyer's channel. He has some really good tutorials on PVC bows.

Hey bro, you could use paracord instead of string. It's pretty cheap, $7.99 on ebay for 100ft

[@spacecadet5695]

yea it works pretty good.

[@VeritasEtAequitas]

It works not good at all compared to much more B50 or B55 for the same price.

Could we maybe get the diameters and lengths of the PVC pipes?

[@h2fx574]

the reason why is becuz its ur choice,my choice is 3/4in for bow limbs and 3/4 in coupler....just depends how big your hand is.....

[@gmakepiece]

[@iqbalrizaldy3683]

What kind of rope is that? I'm making myself one of this but I'm confused on choosing the rope for the string.

[@l4nes]

same question

[@MrArgenon]

You can chose any kind of coordage that's strong and rigid enough :)

[@slumericauberalles3275]

Tarred twine bank line makes great bow strings. Do Not Buy At Walmart-very little tar on the line. You want some stiff enough from the tar that when you pull 6 inches off the roll it won't go limp. If the 6 inches stays straight out perpendicular to the roll then it's good bank line. There is good bank line on Amazon for $15-$20. For different sizes go here www.amazon.com/SGT-KNOTS-Tarred-Twine-Bank/dp/B00EVX5OLC

[@slumericauberalles3275]

Slumerica Über Alles Definitely do not use paracord. It is too thick. Tarred twine works very well and you can get 1,000 ft or more for $15-20. It also comes in very handy for building a lean to and making nets for hammocks or whatever. Very versatile cordage.

He did a good job with a quick tutorial, but if you want serious measurements and advice check out backyard bowyers channel. He's probably the leader of this pvc archery group.

[@maazaslam930]

Alexander Crabtree I used a 4 foot pipe.Divided them into 2 suppurates.and then a half foot for the mid section and finally paracord for the rope.You can basically use any rope as long as its strong,fairly thin and durable. Got a mid-sized,probably 35-40 pounds bow.

how many pounds does it pull

[@semko71]

+Adam Cavagnetto It's bull shit, I tried different PVC tubes plumbing ones (they are ticker) and max draw was about 20 Lbs, let alone electrical PVC that he use , you can penetrate Cola bottle from 5 feet that's about it, like he did , the best solution, go to second hand store and look for golf clubs, handle made of fiber , I made one and it's about 60 Lbs

[@Ebola419]

+semko71 look at backyard bowyers channel. Lot of good pvc videos with draws that vary 30-70 pounds.

[@semko71]

TheEvilGamer666 On you tube everything is possible .......

[@MP212NYC]

+Adam Cavagnetto ....lets just say, if you're a plastic soda bottle in the forest- you're going DOWN.

[@AZURA888]

+Adam Cavagnetto it seem like a bow of 30 pounds enough power to kill a deer or a human with the minimum power to penetrate a human skull like a 22.

[@101boertjie]

A very nice idea for a bow, i like it a lot. A well put together video, well done. I would suggest using something like B50 Dacron for a string, and it can still be made fast on top while the loop that goes over the lower-limb can be made to be removed from the notched end. The method that you use for the bowstring is a lot like a tribe in africa uses for their bows (i just do not recall the name of the tribe), which are pieced in the one limb, but there are some differences also. I would also put a knocking point on the string, it can be made with something as simple as wrapping dental floss around the string, since when you use a sight, it is important that you knock the arrow at the same spot each time.

[@Firecat719]

yes, it is possible... I've even done it over the burner on a stove! However, if you do use a burner or a flame, you MUST keep your pipe moving quickly, as it is easy to burn or scorch the pipe.

[@lucienmacrose8567]

I build authentic native American bows, long bows and am about to start an Asian horn bow when I find the right pieces of horn. A friend, also a bower,and I decided to build one of these pvc bows just out of curiosity. It was kinda fun to play with, but the limbs are so heavy for the draw weight they are SLOW! In this video it looks pretty good, but shoot it next to a hickory or osage bow of the same draw weight and you'll see what I mean. Fun toy though! Cheap and easy to make, Good for archery tag or golf. Have fun, just don't expect alot of speed or real power.

[@lucienmacrose8567]

***** Awesome!!! I love it when brilliant persistent people work together and share their achievements with all who look for answers! Please, how did you get such impressive results without the bow being heavy and cumbersome? Bravo! Would also enjoy reading the results of any penetration test you've run, arrow weight,target type ext. You've got me excited now! Answers please?!
