  • Hey everyone! Here's an updated version of the PVC archery release that also doubles as a fidget spinner! This one is a little more compact than the other styles, with less extra bulk and more body where it counts. This one is good to about 50 pounds if made from PVC or something like metal (most metals harder than aluminium), tough plastic, or very dense wood.
    Here's the template : / 11296845
    Scale the template to the size of the bearing you are using.The material should be at least the thickness of the bearing. The thicker the release, the more draw weight it can old. This one is for a max 50 pound draw.
    Thanks for watching and enjoy!

    I have to say, for someone to be a good "diy-er" in the archery world, this guy has actually come up with something very unique, i believe if you stick to this release aid your going to come up with some awesome stuff in the future, pat on the back to you sir, i love seeing ppl buold their own tools and put them to use! Good job!!

    With a bit of modification that could make a functional bearing block for a bow drill (firestarting).
    Multi-function tool for an EDC.

      More for a HDC (Hunting Day Carry) :P
      I'd rather not carry a bow on everyday basis... Good idea nevertheless

    • @1nkw3ll
      @1nkw3ll Před 7 lety +1

      Just gonna play devil's advocate here... slingbow?
      Then that would raise the question of arrows as an EDC... hm...

    Awesome video! I was searching CZcams for something I want to make (which has nothing to do with archery) and stumbled upon this video which solved my problem. What you did with the PVC pipe to make a flat thick reinforced piece of PVC was just what I was looking for. Thanks!!!

    I think I will give that a try. It is an easy build, even without the template. I have a very powerful recurve that I have to wear leather for because it rips the flesh off my fingers that I would like to try this with. Easier to carry then a special leather glove.

  • @stettan1
    @stettan1 Před 2 lety

    Identical to the 6-Gold ring release patented by Glen Klaurens in 1966 or so. That may have been the very first release, it seems it was replaced by smoother but much less safe designs. Then releases with moving parts were allowed and the simple ones forgotten.
    Klaurens made his release in aluminium and sold it in three sizes.

    Smooth craftsman, unique, enjoyable to watch and learn a lot from you. One setback though, lacking all tools you use. Therefore, almost impossible to craft such item. To such perfection. Be Blessed.

    this seems to be a very modern take on the thumb rings and would be much easier on the thumb and forefinger, the trigger end for the forefinger on this could be just a bit longer for leverage, very awesome idea
