So I picked up all the stuff to make a PVC bow yesterday. It's costs less than $10 and supposedly has a 50ish pound pull.
It uses Pvc and fiberglass marking rods. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I bought all the stuff too. Except the string, but I have yet to actually try it.

I have 550 I may try but I picked up some 75pound test poly cord too as it isn't supposed to stretch.

Myth-busters did one in PVC and paper I believe.

You can also use hedge apple and animal gut

Bow string was actually made out of polyester thread
With several loops served togather.

Kevlar and other fibers made them obsolete.
