It figures the first day I have off its pouring rain.. it shoots as well as can be expected but I now want to make a larger one just to see how well a larger one works too.

Posts: 58 Gender:	Re: whip bow Reply #19 - Nov 2^nd, 2009 at 3:57pm Its tiny so it only shoots about 20ish feet but I have a feeling if I made another one that was larger it would go a lot farther. I gotta go for a Hike with a saw and find myself a nice maple sappling or something similar.

Of all the weaponry we made as kids, this one escaped me. I have to see how well it works. Is there a vid on youtube with one of these?

dork Funditor Offline I feel Smurfy when I'm smurfing!!!! You too? Posts: 996 In Beautiful Wisconsin Gender:	Re: whip bow Reply #29 - Nov 19^th, 2009 at 11:07am I have never heard of this. It sounds really cool, fast, and easy to make. Looks like you could use an old fishing pole for the whip. I would just cut it to length and add the string.
