For more of my work and all my tutorials, here’s my new blog dansantanabows.com/journal/ And check out more of my cousin’s awesome music on iTunes music.apple.com/us/artist/marcos-topolanski-quintero/1467836157

I've heard that heating PVC tends to release chlorine gas, so if you're doing this, please either use a paint/chemical rated mask or do it in a well ventilated place and avoid breathing the fumes as best you can. Stay safe out there folks, and happy bow-making!

You’ve made me respect the PVC bow. I might even try one!

Thank you so much for making this video! I just made one and even though it didn’t turn out perfect like yours, it still shoot amazing and accurate!

Wonderful as always Dan! Excellent channel. Thanks again

Thank you for sharing your skills

I love this. Definitely will try it out. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Dan. I've made a few PVC bows with good success. One is a 1" PVC with a 40 lb draw weight at 24"s. I did a camo paint on it and will hunt with it this year. A lot of people underestimate PVC for bow making. They dont know what they're missing.

Loved the video. Nice music as well. I'm inspired to try this but with a lighter pull because of my bad shoulders. I have a 6' D section longbow that I can barely move.

I enjoy the hell out of everything about this. So relaxing.

Perfect, good job

Woooow, amazing, thanks for the tutorial....

that bow making was awesome ... i will do one for my self.... please give more videos

I will never make a bow, but I still love watching these! Amazing music

Loved the video and the bow

Great work

Excelente video gracias

great work

Another great video sir!! Thank you!!

Thanx I am very much impressed

Love it . Thanks. My brain is already making stuff.

greetings master dan and gentlemen.that bow performs powerfull enough for hunting.i have to build one and add it to my bow rack.thanks master dan

Love this

I think that's pretty fantastic. I've always wanted a decent-ish longbow for target shooting in the yard, but with a 31" draw, they seem very troublesome to find. I guess the real question is how long the plastic bow would last. How many shots are you going to get from it before you have a catastrophic failure? What about inserting a wooden core, especially for the riser area or nocks?

This is a great tutorial. Super accessible, and for what the bow is made out of, it looks impressively well crafted. I am curious as to what set these PVC bows take on over time though.

TOP ! Sensacional ....🎯

Great video!!

All your videos are very educational and amazing. Do you plan to do some workshops this summer or in the fall. If you do, please let us know. I imagine that a lot of people like me, will enrol . Thanks for your excellent videos, you are a great teacher.

Thank You,Sir.

How beautiful was that , everything ❤️‍🔥

Im very curious to see how would you manage making a PVC penobscot/double limb bow :0 Im sure you would do an excelent job! (and hopefully and in-depth tutorial video)

Beautiful voice!!!! 🥇

I made pvc bows for years but be warned they will be prone to exploding at cold temps.. Pvc becomes brittle in cold weather, also the power will be less.. Ive had a few shatter round the handles in cold temps.. Just a warning to be careful... I had to get stitches over my lip and eye after a bad failure on a cold winters morning last year... I stopped making them after that..

فن ومبدع استمر

Cool!

Keep it up!!!

Pretty cool 😮

Great tutorial. Short and simple. The PVC I could find is flexible but it's not shiny like yours and becomes sticky and dough-like when a heat it until I can shape it. And when I press it, sharp lines and some small creases emerge around the contact points. I'm not in the US or Canada, by the way.

Buena guitarra de fondo!!❤

Very nice

That faster than I thought. 👍

good day, may I ask what type of PVC and thickness the bow is made of, thank you for the answer, otherwise great work

One of the better pvc bow tutorials ive seen. Question, whats the string follow on this type of bow like?

Nice

Looks like the old 3/4” pipe bow I made years ago… pulled about 40-45lbs. I’m making another soon I miss archery. Good survival training too

Briliant! At 3:15 I noticed a small curve to the left of the handle/grip. Is it intentional or I jsut misinterpret what I see?

Thanks for the tutorial! I've made this bow from the first attempt. I used CPVC (white) pipe 22mm and, other measures exactly as in this video. And I got roughly 17 pounds. Is PVC better?

Will the bow shatter or still bend even in cold climates? Is it possible to make a PVC bow that has a 20lb -25lbs draw weight?

As a easily accessible and straight forward build this is a brilliant idea. Definitely need to try make one myself. I have to ask though, Have you ever made a PVC bow with an arrow rest?

Do you have any recommendations for scaling down the size for kiddos? I have a bunch of old polypropylene tubing from making hula hoops years ago

Shihan Buen trabajo con los ninja kids. Desde el dojo mangetsu bujinkan en madrid es mando un saludo.

A tiller the Hun Actually I have made a few of these that shoot very strong. Arrow weight was tricky though unless you want industrial made arrows. Those work best, But if you make your own, the range is shorter. Because of arrow weight,a 3/8 dowel rod can make a very hard hitting arrow, but like I said about the range. It's a very short range. 30 yards maybe top range, with the longest shot being about 75 yard's This is a good build for a immediate need survival bow 🏹 that has power enough for hunting and defense in closer spaces It's able to be made in a matter of minutes ( about a half hour or less ) Cheap easy to acquire materials for both bow 🏹 and arrow making 🎯 Paracord makes excellent bowstring after it's stretched from use and readjusted for length

A small handful of questions: 1. Do you find that Schedule 80 tends not to deform over time with the heat and shaping you do, or does it still deform and lose draw weight with repeated use? 2. Would adding fiberglass rods (such as reflective driveway markers) to the inside for added durability and draw weight still be effective with this particular design? I recognize a lower grade of PVC would likely be required to keep the draw weight in a similar range. 3. Do you know of any sort of quick-and-dirty math to determine the most advantageous length and degree of curve for the siyahs, or for recurved limbs without siyahs? For context, another UKpostsr by the name of ZNA Productions made a recurve PVC bow a few years ago, and it was less effective in a penetration test compared to another, roughly equal size PVC recurve bow a subscriber sent him despite the subscriber bow having roughly 10lbs less draw weight. His hypothesis was that the subscriber bow was somehow more efficiently releasing energy through the arrow than his own bow was, to the point the arrow had more energy when fired from the subscriber bow despite it's lower draw weight. The whole situation has had me questioning why that was, and exactly what the math is behind an effective recurved limb, all these years later, and I haven't been able to find any answers. So, seeing as you're quite knowledgeable about bows yourself, I figured I'd ask and see if you can shed any light on the subject(s) listed above for me. Thanks in advance and lovely video!

Hello again mr. Dan! I saw a video of backyardbowyer explaining that not all pvc can be used as bow material and that some will crack and shatter regardless of the tiller and his way of testing it is hammering it to see if it shatters, do you know of any less intrusive method to test the pipe? Thanks!

Muito bom, vou ver se acho um PVC igual aqui no Brasil e fazer um pra mim.

Could you achieve similar results with the schedule 40 pipe and some of those orange fiberglass driveway markers inside for extra poundage?

Hi, thank you for the video Could you please let me know exactly type of PVC pipe which you use to make bow, I see many kind of PVC pipe and some of them are easy to be broken

Any ideas for making a recurve or reflex/deflex bow from aluminum? I’m a welder/fabricator and would like to make a traditional style bow with my more modern skill set.

Backyard Bowyer inspired? He had some great pvc bow builds back in the day… This one is awesome too.

Good👍

Dobar video.

I want build a pvc bow, but I do want to possibly hunt with it. I've seen alot of controversy on this, speed, energy, etc. In your opinion, are pvc bows usable to efficiently hunt whitetail deer? Nice build. Thank you.

I love your vids, I would like ti have half of your skills but I must say too much work for a PVC BN bow 😅

How is this bow affected by temperature fluctuations? Is it possible to shoot with it both on a hot summer day and in a cold winter?

You recommend schedule 80 pvc , backyard Boyer recommends 40 schedule pvc. Can you explain your your preference for schedule 80 . Thanks so much really enjoy all your videos. Sincerely Arthur

Suggest what kind of string to use? Thank you like your videos

What size piece of barrel do you use on this bow?

Hey just wondering if u put fiberglass inside of the PvC does it help with durability?

👍🏻👍🏻

Супер! Перше відео, лайк і підписка😉

Dan, im curious about how long that bow lasts, will it eventually wear out, or stay powerful for thousands of shots?

Hey the tips where you call them static recurve... anyways 1 did you glue them together, or was it just melted together? Anyhoo I'm not sure why more people don't go with schedule 80, I think your the only guy so far. Minus 1 dude that did some weird stuff.

Would it be possible to Create a Yumi bow out of PVC? At atleast a handle positioning like a Yumi Bow

It's pprp c hot good for bow?

👍

What arrows would you recommend and what length?

FYI heat PVC outside and use a respirator, heating PVC releases fumes that are quite toxic.

Hello, a question that has occupied my mind. We have several types of PVC pipes available. Are these PVC pipes water pipes?

Wondering if anyone has any tips for the durability of this bow? I’m creating one and figured maybe adding fiberglass ridding at the center? Or would simply making this out of the pipe entirely with no handle reinforcement? Thanks in advance!

What if we dont have a heat gun,then how would you make this specific type of bow?

Can you please make a PVC bow that is able to take large game🙏

indeed, i would love to send you some pictures.i need your expertise[skill and knowledge] about my bow building please

Dude I'm going to be honest with you, I've tried 3 of these "PVC Bows" and all have ended either in disaster or with reduced force ...Things like 'How Long you Flatten the PVC for(average) before you switch to the next step are HUGE Helps for us who aren't as skilled as you. I really like this bow, I want to make it, but am currently Financially Insolvent...If you could perhaps, PM me some Notes or.. Re-Make a Bow Tutorial of this nature using just House hold things(I haven't many tool!) You'd get a ton of views more than Usual and be helping us currently less fortunate out with an easy build for hunting game. I Want to make a Bow that can Kill game for a Year in Rural Canada. So any help, tips, whatever would be appreciated, tbh, I got lost at the Re-Flattening of the "Ends" and how they were curved because after you heated the PVC it was flat...in the clip after, it is not flat...😅

I’ve made pvc bows , & the only thing I have to say about them is that there good for something in a pinch . Over time they lose there power & there really not as good as people make them out to be . There subjected to cold & heat , cold will crack them & with heat they will become rubbery with loss of power if you want a good bow then stay away from these pvc bows & buy a good recurve .

i honestly cannot see a large draw pull without the pvc pipe kinking straight away does not seem logical

Can you make a Recurve penobscot pvc bow?

Every put fiberglass driveway makers in the pipe ??

Good video. I made one going pretty much tit for tat what Backyard Bowyer made, and it came out good, then I tried to make another from furniture grade pcv in a recurve style, kinked it more or less, and it failed. Can't get very thinned out on that pipe.

I made this a month ago and used duck tape to back the bow, it works well. It’s only 35ish pounds but that's okay.

👍👍👍🎯🏹

👍❤️🙏

Начебто дуже круто! 🖖🤘💪🇺🇦

Can you hunt with this bow?😊

Pvc What is the size, how thick and how many inches are the pipes? Pvc

Could i do this with a blowdryer?

Pas mal

I’m curious as to how a Penobscot PVC design would function in comparison to a regular PVC Bow design depicted here. I’ve heard a Penobscot design adds a functional purpose to get more weight from your draw, but I’m not sure how difficult it would be to replicate a design as such with PVC.

Wow, a bow video with someone actually saying what they’re doing versus sped up footage and silence 😅

I'm trying to make this bow are you still

Just us scissors when pvc is heated
