nop mate
it's a PVC bow

it's my first try to copy a mongol bow.
It's light weight bow (Draw Weight App 30 pounds) I also made a simple re-curve bow,
currently working on a heavy bow (Approximately 60-80 pound)
will be posting the steps...

How did you get that PVC piece for the bow?

The Mogolian Bow looks very neat & nice....
Kaif seems to shooting the 'bulls eye' consistently

Great work!!!
> BTW - Did you have to make a mould for the PVC bow?

just heated the pipe with the heat gun
then pressed the pipe using the wooden board to make it flat..

will be posting the steps, when I'll start new project.
it's really easy, but requires practice
nearly 4 pipes were damaged earlier

I dont have any experience with the Fiber Glass...
looking forward in future to play with the Fiber Glass and Wooden composit bow, If I am lucky, may be I can use fiber Glass, wood and Carbon fiber to create a composite horse bow..
but that will happen when i become perfect in PVC bow making
