Make a cheap but effective lightweight longbow from 1m of 12mm wood dowel, two 1m lengths of 15mm high pressure PVC and a 1m length of 20mm PVC. Duct tape and Paracord also needed.

Wrap the 1m Length of 12mm Pine Dowel With Duct Tape in the Middle and Both Ends, So That Two 1m Lengths of 15mm PVC Tube Just Slide Over.

Now Seperate the Two 1m Lengths of 15mm PVC by About an Inch and Run Tape Between to Stop the Wooden Dowel From Falling.

Now Tape the 15mm PVC in Three Spots (mid and End) So the 20mm PVC Just Slips Over
