Sleeved oak ELB aka Urban bow

(1/4) > >>

Mudd:
I set out a few years ago to prove that even without all the normal resources that I could build a bow that would allow me to survive.

Here's what I came up with. I took two 4ft oak dowels and a piece of pvc pipe. I glued the dowels into the pvc pipe then tapered the ends of the oak dowel sort of like an ELB.

Then I covered the pvc with cloth camo tape, then glued on a leather hand wrap.

I think it will draw at or above 30+ lbs at 28".

Josh:
That's pretty awesome there, Mudd.  I like the ingenuity behind it.  Never seen one crafted like that before... how does it shoot?  Looks cool as heck to me!  :)

Cromm:
