This is one of the pipes from that box. I've gone through quite a few colored pipes since then and really like it as a bow-building material. It is very stable and while not as fast as white pipe, it really makes up for it in stability and toughness.
This pipe was formed into a bow last August and I left it outside for 6 months as a test. It has been exposed to sun, rain, sleet, snow, 90+ degree (F) days and 10 degree (F) nights. Through all that, the pipe has held up fine and I'm very happy with it. I put over 5,000 arrows through that bow without any issues.
After surviving for six months, I decided to give it a break and reshape the pipe into a different bow. This one is much more forgiving to shoot and is a smooth shooter, drawing 40# @ 28". It is very short, somewhere around 43" nock to nock and 41" from tip to tip.
Thanks for watching and enjoy!
