Nice bubby, I saw that kid on youtube. I'll be honest, i made one too, just for fun. What amazes me is that dude wrote a 300 page book about making bows from pvc ??? Ya 300 pages, it took about 30 minutes to make, how did he turn that into 300 pages. Anyway, it was a fun waste of 30 minutes.

I have made quite a few smaller ones for the kids....you can make one in 10 minutes and it gets them shooting fast and cheap.  My organization The Bowhunters of South Carolina has a rabbit hunt for the kids this coming week and we make and give out these bows to any child that needs a bow.
