I need some suggestions for about as un-primitive a bow one could make...

makenzie71:
I made a thread like this a while back...it got sucked out with the Anything Else/Campfire switch...there were some good suggestions, hope some of you guys voice up again because I can't remember there.

I whipped up a couple of hungarian~ish horsebows...two fiberglass quickies and a bamboo/ipe/ash one.  While showing them off I got sucked into a contest...I got to make a bow without using fiberglass, wood, horn, or metal for the limbs.  Wood/horn/fiberglass/metal/etc can be used for non-working parts like the handle.

I have no idea what to use lol

Hillbilly:
Sinew-backed PVC pipe? ;D

makenzie71:
lol I don't know if we can use sinew.

However...can you get PVC sheeting?  Pipe would suck to try and make work, but I do know PVC in general pretty resilient/bendy.

JackCrafty:
Some of those plastic rulers are really springy.  Is there a minimum size limit?

knightd:
Get you one of the plastic 2x4 they sell for decking.. ;D
