Exactly. He can stuff his "simple bow" when he needs all that to make it. I dont think he know much about bows since he never said what draw strength it has, everyone can put a string in a bent stick and call it a bow and launch something from it. Piece of pvc pipe will do the trick and no tools needed, THAT is a simple bow.
@@hfrendal5374 Just because he made use of "all that to make it" for the video doesn't mean $30,000 worth of equipment is needed. Anyone mechanically inclined could do the same with normal household hand tools like a hacksaw and file.
@@phuntwv Anyone with the right pvc pipe can make a better bow in 30 min. I am an archer and I can tell you that the bow he ended up with is a terrible bow. To use time, energy and money on creating that crap makes no sense.
@@hfrendal5374 A lot of people waste time, energy, and money on hobbies and activities that baffles others. It baffles the ol lady that I spent time, energy and thousands of $ hunting and fishing. Even with all the factory made bows out there, there are just as many opinions on which are best. The best thing about this bow is that if we don't like it for any reason, we don't have to waste our time, energy and money making it. Or we can make any number of modifications. If get bored making bird and bat houses, I might build one of these. I got my first Fred Bear recurve in 1968 and have owned many more since then, mostly for hunting and target shooting. But none of that changes the point of my original comment that, regardless of design, lots of expensive tools are not needed.
Actually , usually bows are smaller and lighter at the ends. I think that makes them shoot faster. Pyramid bows take that to the extreme. Also there is nothing wrong with a bending instead of a stiff handle. A bending handle makes the bow smaller. When I ever will try your design I'll make at least those changes. I am sure it will be a wood fiberglass composite as I still think your extension are too thick and heavy.
Should've made the bow center shot since the static handle, the siyahs could have been made thinner and angled forward so you get a recurve. Other than that, pretty nice. The bowstring is a bit on the weak side it seems, especially if you shorten the bow for added draw weight
cool work as always. as an avid hunter, i just want to thank you so much for not dry firing the bow. i see a lot of videos like this where they will do that and it makes me cringe each time.
Chris Sproles it was probably a little more than that but the arrow point made the difference in penetration. It would penetrate a bullet proof vest but the impact and the damage to a body would not be as good as you think. When “settlers” exchanged shots with Indians it wasn’t that uncommon to slap an arrow away with your rifle barrel. There was a reason that the native population would sell women for a rifle or trap all year for a rifle..
@@tvsdramesh I would guess the shaft is aluminum the head itself I'm unsure but they fly great and although likely to bend if hitting a blunt object the wrong way I don't think they would Splinter or break and maybe fixable if you have the right tool
I have no idea what your tradenames for this product is but they are called "pulltrusions". They have a very high glass to resin ratio.sonetimes more exotic mixes of glass,kevlar,carbon and other stuff. 5mm is way to thin . I havevused 8mm but it was only 30mm wide. Size is relative to power. I do like your cheap fletchings. Plenty of tutorials on this and as complex as you want to get. Yours are easy and functional

Here's a challenge. Have a look into mongolian horse bows and see if you can make your own simple to make version of it with fiberglass, some sort of backing material, plywood and lots and lots of epoxy
Nearly all the ones you find (at least for cheap) for sale on the internet are made this exact way, but the riser is wood with the limbs attached separately. All he would need to do is cut the fiberglass in half, attach the limbs the same way he did the siyahs, and bam, same as a cheap chinese version of a horse bow, and only slightly less reliable.
Cool build! Next time I would taper the ends of the bow to help with limb speed, and instead of the massive wood siyahs just add a simple small wood, bone, or horn nock. The bow itself looks extremely unpleasant to actually use due to what I imagine is tremendous hand shock, but I'm not sure how to fix that (I've only ever built wooden bows).
Your suggestions will likely fix most of the problems, including hand shook (that is not a big deal in such week bow, although it will affect accuracy). I was going to suggest exactly everything that you suggested, so thumbs up to you! I think if he apply it all, the bow will improve tremendously. He can also add a nock and make the field point slightly bigger than the shaft, so it will pierce a bigger hole and the rest of the arrow will past through without friction, as it doesn't touch the hole.

Nice work👍🏻,Ali express has an complete bow set with tips and handle for 30$ if u have not the right Tools, but it looks very simple it would be makeable if u smart enough to help u out with simple tools, greetz from Germany 🇩🇪
Great idea ,, highly request this be introduced to our US public school system. So our young can defend against random shooting... Just a thought...great work.. Best wishes...keep it up... Shalom
So it always hit with the end of he arrow (nock) pointing high??? Either your arrows or your arrow placement is off (or 2 fletches rather than 3 properly done). Might not seem bad at 10 yards... At 30 that thing is going into the dirt. I understand the DIY bows, which I plan to do myself soon, but I will buy/use modern arrows!
What kind of range does it have? I see alot of power up close but down range? Perhaps with lighter arrows? It's not so much lbs of draw as how quickly it springs back into shape, or a balance of the two at least.
Idk man, 90% of my life is relying on how strong that adhesive is.
I'd guess it's about %10,000 stronger than the gelatin ("animal") glue used on composite bows in previous centuries, so you'll be fine :)
$7 bow.... $30,000 worth of equipment.

@@phuntwv Ahh so you will reinvent the wheel, good for you. Good luck with that.
Wow that cool. Round off that handle and taper off the ends some and it would look ten times better!
That is impressive. I'd love to see you make a compound bow one day...

That's what I was thinking. Adding so much weight at the very end of the limb certainly limits this bow's launch speed.
Matthias Liszt True, this is an amazingly slow bow. You can do better with a green branch and a drawknife.

lol yeah it's all fun and games until your bow blows up in your face.
Pretty fantastic work, dude! 😮
Awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Wow, a 5lb draw weight bow lol very cute

Many thanks for sharing it gets the grey cells working to improve upon your design, you are a talented man , bless you and thank you :)
A never ending talent factory!
Thanks for sharing,

You're like a super genius lol
What kind of tubing did you use for your arrow shafts? How much draw weight is that bow? VERY NICE BUILD!!!
The most silent weapon,
But definitely lot more dangerous.....
I loved making bow and arrow wgen I was a kid. Nice work! And I love the property, lots of greens. You must be well off.
Accuracy 1%. fun 100%
Excellent,will have a go at this
Making a Simple and Cheap Crossbow would be nice too :D
You should look at the slingshot channel for that.
I'm impressed, but it looks uncomfortable to use
Really like this job
Great work as always. But where do I find a fiber glass strip?
Badass! Shorten that string a touch and bring up your brace height I bet you it would shoot even better
Good job on making a bow and arrow thank you very much. 😗
Easy enough to make and appears to be effective.
Reminded me of howtobasic lol kept waiting for eggs
LoL
Very nice brother 👌
Wish i could has that bow. . .
Forever hunter here in world of Warcraft
Simply superb
wow very simple and very nice, not much work to make it 👍
Great awesome work 👍 👍 👍 👍
He can star in the next Hunger Games...lol
So where do you get a fiber glass strip like that?
Great job....as usual!!! 👍
Awsome ... U GOT ALL TOOLS U NEED TO BUILD A GOOD THING
Nice bow
Sold for what ever price it is ill buy it.
I have been looking everywhere for the fiberglass you're using and all I can find is the rools of fiber glass
Did you try to search on AliExpress for "fiberglass high strength". You can't find the same but similar fiberglass strips especially for bows.
Yep np...everyones got garage full of powers tools..ill get right on this...
nice video

Can you estimate how many pounds does this bow have?
Cool build and video. Thanks for sharing! Aloha! : )
One heck of a nice bow! You should make one from yew wood next which is what traditional longbows were made from.
Where can u find fiberglass to make a 70 pound bow.
Nice project
Perfect bow , awesome lesson. Thanks for sharing your tip 👍
If you make siyah some curve then it will really look awesome
If you ever want to make a powerfull bow try making one out a old pair of snow ski's
I love you are perfection of work
Pretty nifty when in a pinch.. good survivalist hunting implement..
Yeah pretty nifty if you somehow have 30 grand worth of equipment lying around
@@bobbyflay2822 this can be done with 30 dollar knife..
Love your videos
Awesome job what were the arrow shafts made from
Bow shooting sound is like minecraft isn't it
Well done
Very intereesting. Why the wood pieces at the ends?

super bueno bro jajaj
Need to increase the brace height a bit. And greatly reduce the weight around the tips. Still nice design.
Good project, but I would have used wood laminate on either side of the fiberglass, more strength, and the epoxy gun where did you get it??
Smart guy!
Looks simple n easy to build! But could u let me know what type of material is that metal looking thing?
Crude (very) but very effective.
Whats The Draw Weight On That Thing?
I tried this , draw weight was at 60lbs, using a 6mmx30mm fiber glass
Excelent bow, if modificate arrows then possible receive weapon even more effective than firearm
*That's the material of the bar you started with? The bar you attached pieces of wood on? Is it metal or what?
The problem is not everyone has a metal laethe at home
Nice video sir
What kind of range does it have? I see alot of power up close but down range?
Perhaps with lighter arrows?
It's not so much lbs of draw as how quickly it springs back into shape, or a balance of the two at least.
Good job 👍
cool
I can't find material this size(Fiberglass strip). Could you give the link?
The bow might be made from $7 of materials but you used like $20k+ of equipment to make it lmao.
Cool!!!!
great job! what is the approximate draw weight?
Light up the arrow with FIRE.
What drawlength did you achieve?
where can I buy that sailboat string
Wtf?!? I've got a twin brother. Dude, you look almost like me😮
