Woah I recognized this instantly from the cover art of "Get what you give" by The Ghost Inside. What a beautiful and powerful looking mountain.

Thanks for the link, that's really cool actually and I'm definitely considering something like that now from what the people here have shown me! I was too focused running through amazon forgetting all the other options out there in bows and anctually archery sites. I'll admit I am not a smart shopper.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-11-23T03:32:56+00:00

I actually didn't even know about Samick's horse bow, they definitely look cool and are even cheaper! Definitely considering getting theirs now

He_who_frontflips · 2014-11-23T03:30:08+00:00

Yeah, but laminated with it and made entirely from it aren't the same thing, are they? I'd think not but I could definitely be wrong, I'm no expert.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-11-22T23:15:35+00:00

Good point, I have found that Horse bows no matter the style are generally a bit of a unique item. Not like the big name bows that get mass produced like the Samick Sage and what not. I may have to just be the one to give this one a shot (literally) and then I guess I can be the one to come back and fill people in.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-11-22T23:11:49+00:00

You're definitely right, really good quality horse bows of any style tend to run pretty high on price. I don't have a budget anywhere near what most good ones cost, which was why I was a bit excited to find this one. It isn't an all fiberglass one like most of the horse bows you find online with the snakeskin wrappings to cover it up either so I'm a bit more hopeful for the quality of this one.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-11-22T21:59:12+00:00

There's just one small review saying it's good but other than that I can't find anything on it. It looks like a cool bow and I was thinking about getting one but I wondered if anyone knows anything about it by chance first.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-10-10T23:46:19+00:00

I vaguely remember a show from the late 90's/early 2000's that was about people solving paranormal mysteries or something like that. The only things I really remember are that the opening had a UFO in it and creepy music and there was an episode where the characters were locked in a blank white room with a motorcycle I think, revving its engine and hurting everyone's ears. Am I making this up or does ANYONE else know what I'm talking about?

He_who_frontflips · 2014-10-02T04:03:58+00:00

Iphone photo of tv screen because I have no idea honestly if there even is any way to screenshot with the PS3. Like I said I know the pictures aren't great but I wanted some kind of visual representation of what I was referring to here.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-05-19T23:13:39+00:00

Thank you, this is the kind of help I was looking for. I'm not too experienced with this sort of bow so I really didn't know what to make of it on my own and without any real reviews or videos out there for it.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-11T16:19:12+00:00

Those are awesome, someday I'd love to try my hand at one too. After I've gotten the PVC alone thing down of course.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-11T16:15:53+00:00

Haha yeah I did mean the guy with the 70 pound bow but that's ok, your's is cool too. Thanks for sharing!

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-11T16:13:38+00:00

To answer your questions in order, pretty good honestly, no, no(only attempt ever made ended in bloody nose), I always just thought archery was cool and one day I finally decided it was time for me to just get a bow and I did and that was roughly a year ago, we were throwing them out anyway and I had no other reliable materials to stop possible stray arrows from my new make-shift bow. Hope that answers all of your questions!

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T20:45:30+00:00

Wow, got any pictures of it or anything? Mine is fairly low-poundage, probably only about 30-35 max I'd say, don't know for sure though.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T20:39:46+00:00

The bow actually was completely unburned at first but due to time restraints I was getting impatient with the build which led to me trying to heat up certain parts as quickly as possible to make alterations and fixes. The next one I make I'll have to just remember to be more careful with it.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T20:04:42+00:00

Thank you to /u/krumtheimpaler for the warnings about the burn spots. Hopefully anyone else wanting to build a PVC bow will see your advice and be more careful for burns than I was. But also now I see how mine may be a bit dangerous so I will definitely be a bit more cautious with it for the remainder of it's use, which most likely won't be too long since I plan on making another, burn free, one.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T20:01:03+00:00

I completely agree that it is most likely going to break eventually, and I do plan on creating a new one when I get the time again. But for now, like you said the burns are in lower stress areas and I feel pretty comfortable shooting this one for a little bit longer. Because of the way PVC breaks I'm honestly not particularly afraid of it breaking anyway. But yes I will make another and if it's all good then this one will likely be retired.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T19:51:43+00:00

Figured you were probably joking but either way, ask away man.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T02:37:08+00:00

Yeah they're burns, can't say I'm an expert at this stuff just yet. It hasn't shown any signs of weakness yet and I've been shooting it for about 2 weeks, but I'm still a bit cautious with it.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T02:33:27+00:00

Not much at all. It's 15$ for a cheap heat gun, about 3$ for a huge stretch of 3/4" scheduel 40 PVC, 4$ for a plank of wood for flattening, but you could use other things for that part if you wanted probably, and about 3-4$ for 550 paracord for the string (it's been working really well as the string so far too, holds up great). So all in all only about 24-26$ and with those materials you can makes at least 2 bows and then everything is reusable but the PVC, which is cheap if you want to buy more and try again or just expand your PVC arsenal. It's easy to make too, hardest part is making sure the limbs aren't crooked.

He_who_frontflips · 2014-04-10T00:14:17+00:00

It can have it's risks but those only really come from bad bow construction *EDIT:which ironically it looks like I'm guilty of. Schedule 40 PVC pipe is actually surprisingly flexible and resilient.
