Namaste and welcome.
Search the forum for "guava" and you'll find real nice bows made by a guy who goes by the nick "nomadic pirate" ; he has made some of the most exciting bows ever seen here on PA!

Welcome!  Always plenty of room in here for more posts of guava bows!
Guns have triggers. Bicycles have wheels. Trees and bows have wooden limbs.
