How to make a $4 PVC Recurve Bow in 60mins | JimBow Jim Bow SN001 | Live and Let Fly Archery

Have you ever wanted to build your own PVC Recurve bow? A friend of mine tried, it took him 7 hours with the help of 4 other friends (~30 man hours!??!?!) and he failed. I looked at his failed attempts and was confident I could do it in an hour. He allotted me 80 minutes, I accepted the challenge, I believe I accomplished the challenge, and he asked me not to disclose his identity. BWAHAHAHA!!!

Long story short, here's my bow!

Special thanks to Yuli, and Rong for the help getting some of the footage, it was fun.; annonymous bag man--for bringing comedic joy to the world; Sailor Moon B for your help and for the superb hand modeling; and of course thanks to everyone I bugged for input while I struggled to figure out how to put this video together. It's been real fun!

Shout out to Backyard Bowyer, if it wasn't for him there would not be the world of PVC bows there is today! Respect!

[MysMao]

[yearoldwarbowarcher]

your amount of string walking is insane

[deltafour]

I'm just letting you know, I am going to "steal" your idea. ;)

Hi mate I'm interested to buy one have you got a website I can order from

[pinguimgeladu]

what knot did u use to fixate the paracord?

[solemnbuddhist]

So could the arms be made out of pvc and the handle out of a dowle?

Would have liked to have known the poundage of finished bow.

How long was the straight pipe ? About 2m?

I'm sorry to give a negative review, but not on the arc, but on the film shot very fast to the point of not understanding the procedure. Of course you had to do it in a minute but not in the film, and then the shadows not well lit did not make you understand the succession of the various passages. However, the arc made is beautiful and I think it works well !!!

You write about everything, but you didn't write what pipe you used.

[joem]

it would have been much better without the music

[cariyaputta]

This is not $4, you used power tools so you have to also count them in.
