I have more than enough “left over” arrows from my personal collection to loan out as well. I specifically selected these bows because they can be shot left or right handed. As most here will know, they run about $35 - $40 each. HOWEVER, I have recently been introduced to a potential much lower cost alternative that could easily provide every single group within our glorious kingdom several loaner bows. Go to backyardbowyer.com and watch some of his videos. He makes bows out of PVC piping and claims them to be up to 50 pound draw weights. They look pretty amazing. He also covers the issues of bow breakage and some of the causes for breakage. So I guess my main purpose of this post is this question – as the Atlantian archery community, how do we feel about these PVC bows?<o:p></o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></pre><pre><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>cog<o:p></o:p></span></pre><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
