    You should use Silver Oak from Kerala. It is one of the strongest and flexible trees available in Kerala. If you can't get it, try to get dried Bamboo.

  • Question
    What animals can I hunt with this bow?
    Community Answer
    You can hunt small game, such as rabbits. I would be very surprised if this PVC bow could kill large game, but hey, anything is possible. Also, remember to check your local laws in reference to hunting.
  • Question
    Will the wood for the hunting bow bend more easily if I soak it in warm or hot water?
    Community Answer
    It would definitely help to soak it in warm or hot water, but you would have to be careful, because the wood can get water clogged and soften, so it would be better to apply pressure to the hunting bow. On the other hand, you can also add a waterproof glaze on it for better soaking results.
