DIY Survival PVC Bow

This is my entry for the survival challenge and the hack it challenge. This is a survival bow that is made out of pvc and nylon string braided. I came up with this idea a while back when I had bought a pvc pipe and had some left over........ and this happened! It consists of SCH 80 PVC pipe, and a nylon string braided. I used rainbow string for added fun! *+*+*+*+*WARNING*+*+*+*+* I am not liable if you end up killing yourself making this project.

This is straightforward, go to your local hardware store and buy the pipe it come in 10 foot lengths and costs about $3.00 USD per length.

Cut your newly acquired pipe to the length that suits your needs. For example, a grown man`s longbow should be about 5` feet long

this is also simple. Use a saw and cut the notches for the string and make sure they are straight so you don't get spung by the string when you pull back to shoot. I know that by personal experience xD!

you now need to braid the string. this is a tedious process that will take a while to do, but if done well, will make a string that will last years to come. After that knot the string so it makes a place for the notch to hold onto.

This is the big payoff! string the bow and have fun! You can also take it further and add a ledge if you want to.
