A Bow Made From PVC Pipe? You're Nuts!
Well, it so happens that Mr. Tomihama isn't nuts. His PVC bow designs work--very well. The bows made with these designs are as lethal as any bows made from more traditional materials. If our ancestors of centuries past had had access to PVC pipe, I doubt they would have entirely ignored it in preference to the wood, horn, bone and sinew they knew so well; and we would regard PVC pipe as a traditional material for making bows.
With detailed instruction and clear pictures Mr. Tomihama walks the reader through the processes of turning a length of PVC pipe into a bow. All will work fine for target practice and small game hunting and some are powerful enough to take large game animals. Make no mistakes on this point: these PVC bows are not toys--they are weapons of deadly potential.
