Shooting -    • Shooting the 10-15 Pound Kid's Bow  

Today we're building a very lightweight bow perfect for younger children, the elderly and adults looking to work on their form. It's around 10-15 pounds at 28 inches, which translates to about 5 pounds at 18 inches or so.

I'll be showing how to make a bow in 30-35 degree (F) weather as well as how to impovise a flattening jig with plain boards and a couple end cuts of PVC pipe.

I'm up in Colorado visiting family, so this bow is actually for my childrens' great-grandmother. You can see her take a shot with it at the end of the shooting video.

Thanks for watching and enjoy!

The heating trough is made of a non-conductive base like cardboard or wood shaped like a gutter or round tube, covered in a reflective material like aluminum foil or flashing.
