Check out the 80 pound longbow all finished up! It's an 80 pound, 66 inch (64 ntn) longbow made with one piece of 1 1/4" PVC plumbing pipe. No pipes or wood on the inside, no fiberglass rods, nothing fancy. Just one PVC pipe, flattened and tapered.

I apologize if I look a little funny drawing this bow. I have no problems with 70 pounds, but 80-95 pounds seems to be my upward limit right now. Anyway, enjoy the video and stay tuned for the build!
