    For anybody doing this at home I would recommend adding some pvc glue on the inside of the pvc before clamping it flat, this would help hold it down when you reheat it and just generally strengthen the bow.

    since you have a band saw, one suggestion i'd make to get more consistent bows from pvc would be to cut out a wooden form form a 2x4. both halves can be clamped onto the bow at the same time forcing the plastic into the proper shape.

      You can pre stretch it if you mesure out the exact length you need. Thats what we do for compound string.
      Put it under tension with a ratchet strap over night and that should remove most stretching. Do a practice run before to see how much it stretch.

    When I was about 10 years old my dad made me a crossbow and I used pegs as ammo, u know the stuff u hang washing out with. Anyway I was playing with it in the street when my neighbors son came out and started throwing rocks at me. I shot a peg at him and hit his leg the peg went so slow and wouldn't have hurt at all. 20 minuets later the police were at my door saying there was a report that a man was out shooting kids with a hunting crossbow. Like wtf I was 10 years old and the thing shot blunt pegs

    Why do you release it in two parts?! What if zombies were to come before you release the second part?!

    In my opinion, the crossbow would be more powerful if you didn't pre bend the main limbs.

      Andre Kielczewski well, he had to bend them, but maybe a little less would be better

      The idea is to give it a recurve. Which, if done right, increases the force
