How to make a PVC Long Bow | JimBowJim Bow SN3

I show you how I build SN3, a long bow made of schedule 40 PVC pipe and a heat gun.

The design I tried uses a V-cut at the tips, and a heat gun + contact cement brings it together. In future I'd try cutting a reverse V-cut instead, saving the middle. I think it would be much easier to keep the bow semetrical. If I try it I'll upload it in a future video.

The string is 550 paracord.

The 3/4 inch diametre pipe allows for an extremely light draw weight even at a smaller bow height. This bow is intended for smaller hands, and for beginners. I haven't pulled it on the scale yet, but it is about 12 or 15 pounds at 28 inche draw. 5-10 pounds was the perfect rance I was looking for, the primary user of this bow will be a 7 year old!
