    Today, I took my first-ever PVC bow, made following the instructions in this video (just a little longer per your guidelines to reduce the weight to something novice-friendly) and tried it out. It put an Easton Jazz shaft (with duct-tape fletchings and 3D printed arrow nocks) clear across my front lawn - and my front lawn is NOT small.
    I've wanted to get into archery forever, but never had the money to jump feet-first into a whole new hobby with all its associated "startup costs." Thanks to you, I've been able to get into traditional archery for almost nothing and also discovered an entire new world of satisfying DIY crafting I didn't even know existed.
    I thank you profusely for the joy you've given me and the joy I know I'll have for years to come. It's a whole new ballgame.

    Always loved these bows. Thanks Nick. My first time pvc bow was the 90 lb . Way too tough. A friend broke it stringing it up. I am going to try this one. I made a wood flat bow from American ash. That was fun but only ended up at 35 lb cause I was too cautious trying not to break it. Got some more ash to try again. Such a great hobby for me! Thanks again for the joy you bring!

    Now I don't know what is crazier, grilling a PVC pipe in the garden or watching it on UA-cam for 50 minutes? The result is great but looks like a lot of hard work.
    Very nice string making.

    Very clear, very well-explained, good vid. Even if I never actually make the whole bow, I understand how to make/fix my own strings. Very groovy! Thanks!
