Thanks! It was a blast to build. I'm starting the next one mentioned in the video soon. It will have two more articulations and 2-4 more springs, plus the arrow lift mechanism should be better.
Use bb gun springs,just change them,I can't get my hands on some tools and materials,had neural inflamation so I was knocked out imobilised,i have a compound and a recurve but this is awsome
That’s a very nice bow. But those are pulleys not cams. The difference is the cams are ‘just that’ cams. Meaning they are oval so as when the bow string is pulled then the cams work like cantilevers, which that’s what they are and the pull on the bow string gets easy after you break over the first part of the cam. It’s called “let off pressure”. But again it’s a very nice bow. Thank you for posting it. What I like most about it is that it is very clean looking.
I'm actually not sure. I'll have to measure it soon and post the results. I've made many PVC bows that range between 25-35lbs for draw weight and this one feels like it could be 40lbs.
@@antburt what is the draw weight of each spring? I'm asking this because I'm planning to use springs to make a bow, but seeing other videos on the Internet it seems like springs powered bows release the arrow much slower than you should expect, kinda if some draw weight of the spring is lost in the mechanical movement. Your it's the only bow in which I didn't saw that "unexpected slow release", I want to compliment you for your work!
There is so much design and brain involved in it, love it! Thanks!
This is awesome!!

What’s the draw weight on a bow like this?
