In honor/disgust of July 1st, I share the bow making website I have been addicted to. This guy makes bows out of PVC that range from 15-70+ lbs for less that ten bucks! For $15 I have enough pipe for 8 bows. I did 2 longbows for the kids with a propane torch, and will be picking up a heat-gun this afternoon and ordering Dacron and string serving today to finish them out.
