Great work marksman
How resilient is PVC pipe / tube? Will it be similar to 'Bamboo or Wood'?

we can't compare the flexibility of a pvc bow with the bamboo or wood bow,
bamboo or a wooden bow are much more durable and flexible then the PVC bow, but well designed PVC bow can be flexible and durable
I like PVC coz it's cheaper then any other material, and it's easy to make and you can make the adjustments.
currently I am planing to go on a Bow fishing Trip, may be on oncoming weekend, will be posting the experience and the performance of the bow.
