Hi, my name is Nick! I’m an avid archer and bowyer and absolutely love archery in all its forms. One of my dreams is to teach everyone the value of archery and the lessons that can be learned. It’s a lofty goal, but I try my best in my own little way to make archery more accessible to people who may not have the resources or opportunities otherwise.

He convinced me to make and sell these great bows, so here I am.

Hi I’m Kristy and I first started making PVC pipe bows when I was looking into starting mounted archery. I did not want to buy a $500 bow not knowing if I would like the art of mounted archery. So I started looking all over the Internet trying to find a cheaper solution, that is when I stumbled upon PVC pipe bows. I admit I was skeptical at first, I did not think that they would shoot very well at all, but I thought I’d give it shot anyways. I made my first bow and I was very impressed. I knew right then and there that other people would be interested in buying quality PVC pipe bows for half the price a normal bow would cost.

Let me introduce myself. I'm Randy Edwards, I've been in Archery sense 1993 when I invented my first slingshot to shoot full length arrows. I also coined the word Slingbow. 
After about 15 years of building Slingbows for the Bowfishing Industry, it was time for a change. I sold the company I created, then had archery withdrawals. That's when I ran across some videos online on making bows with PVC pipe. I thought this would be interesting, especially after building my first one.

Hi everyone, my name is Roman and I make fully functional bows out of PVC! Product demo videos and more pics coming soon. Basically I started making bows for myself, and when my friends took notice people started becoming interested. So I made this website to make myself available for people who are interested in owning one themselves, and to show off my bows.

Hi, my name is David Svoboda and I’m a man of many hobbies. I’m always building or inventing something. I was hooked when I discovered PVC bows. To take something as simple as a length of PVC pipe and turn it into an amazingly beautiful bow fascinated me. I’ve seen many different styles of bows made from PVC and I can’t even imagine all of the kinds that haven’t  been invented yet. I strive to create things that people haven’t seen before. When I realized that there  could be a demand for my bows, I jumped on the opportunity and launched a site to showcase my work and allow people to contact me. PVC Perfection was born.
