    Awesome. How much draw weight would you guess at? I'm making my own bow right now of some oak. So far so good. I kept my tips a little wide because I was worried about the strength of the wood, are wide tips a detriment? The limbs are 1 1/2" and the tips taper down to 1 inch

    I did this today, it turned out great, I used store bought flax twine instead though. Problem is, it snapped when a friend used it. Ah well, the next one will be better, I did make mine a little longer than yours, maybe 5-6 inches, the snap was on the top/right limb, about two thirds towards the end. I'm thinking, if I can make a few of these, and buy a load or arrow tag arrows, there could be a lot of fun to be had... Especially because PVC pipes are hard to source in the correct density here in the UK, schedule 50 equivalents are hard to come by, that would be my first choice for durability. In case you're interested, I used a silky pruning saw and a cold steel bushman, I feel confident I could do the whole build with my Kukri in future though, less to carry.

    Had the bow set up at a pro shop. It performed just fine ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxQEKUoxLWwayEDZR0NKB-5limn4MBU-2L . And I would say this is a good starting now that I could pass down to my son when he is older.But the package was missing the release and a nock was missing from one arrow.Dealing with customer support was terrible. They suggested I buy a new release rather than correct their own quality control issue because it’s to expensive for the. to ship it out from China.Update: manufacturer got back to me and resolved the issue. I retract the above statement.
