[Archers] More on PVC Bows

[John Atkins]

Broken PVC can be very sharp and cut quite well, i.e. just brush against
it to get a nice deep cut.  Not all shards end up with very sharp edges
but some do.

And to add to His Excellency's point - my first bow was an X200 Recurve
from 3 Rivers.  First month it exploded due to a manufacturing defect.
They were cool and replaced it at no charge, but if a known and
experienced archery outlet like 3 Rivers can put at bad bow out on our
ranges, then anyone can.
 
I have to admit I'm not comfortable with the PVC bow. It may just be my
own ignorance, but I really think we need a few guinea - er - volunteers
to test a few of these bows to destruction. I would even want to break
one open and see what the shards (that will be flying into people's
faces) actually look like.
