Thread: Cool DIY's

Just some stuff I run across interwebing.

That bow is interesting but I notice that it was already taking the strung shape when he unstrung it. I have to wonder just how much it's going to deform over time. I'm guessing it'd be far better to just spend 50-100 bux on a recurve bow that could last you a lifetime with care.

How bout this.

That's pretty slick. He just needs to make those arrows two-piece and that'll be SUPER slick.

On another note that bow above was either 50 or 55 pound and he shot it through the chrony and it was ~175fps. I found another video he did that was "how long do they last". He said he thought they would last 20 years. However he pulled out one that was 2 years old and was a "60 pound" bow. He was getting 140fps out of that. So I'm guessing they would be pretty good if you don't leave them strung and only string them when you plan to use them. Considering how cheap pvc is... pretty good for the price. Especially if you make two or three at a time.

That sling bow is pretty slick. I will be making one of those.

And here I thought it'd be an orchestral bow

Mobile-

This would be cool for family esp the kids beats those plaster of paris hand prints from vbs.
