40 pound pvc zombie bow (2)

through out history and up until the modern invention of reliable fire arms no weapon, whether on the hunt or in battle was more versatile or dominating then the bow and arrow. which is why it was adopted by almost every salivation and is still used today by hunters and recreational enthusiasts who know its power. in the zombie apocalypse when all modern comforts and tools are gone the bow maybe the difference between life and death. whether its securing your next meal, defending yourself from dangerous murders determined to take what little you have, or putting to rest the undead scourge. the bow proves itself with versatility and re-usability. however one of the troubles with bows lies in the manufacturing proses.it can take a skilled bow maker of many years months to make a reliable bow by hand. a novice has no hope of doing so, until now.

the pvc pipe bow can be made with minimum tools, time and from abundant resources that won't be high on anyone's horde list, except perhaps those who know. and now you can be one of them. this is a simple version but more elaborate ones with better performance and more power and draw weight can be made with only slightly more effort and a few more tools

the simple survival 40 pound version you see above was made for less then five dollars at a local homedepo. took me only 20 minuets to make and consist of only three parts. a four and half foot length of 3/4 inch schedule 40 pvc pipe. a one foot length of oak dowel (you can use a broom handle). and a length of para-cord for the bow string. throw in some wooden dowel arrows with duck tape vanes and you're ready to go. for the cost and time put in i employ everyone out there to go out and make their own and practice with it. as for how to make it i refer you to the video that taught me.
