PVC Armory

PVC Armory started in 2014 as a college project and grew into a full archery business. Their core idea is simple: make archery accessible to everyone through affordable, durable PVC bows that perform like the real thing.

Schedule 40 PVC pipe might not sound like bow material, but it has advantages traditional materials don't:

• •Waterproof - Weather won't damage them
• •Dry-fire resistant - Can handle a stray trigger pull without breaking (though they don't recommend it as practice)
• •Durable - Dropping them, banging them, stepping on them—PVC bows shrug it off
• •Holds poundage - They maintain their draw weight over time, even if left strung
• •Affordable - Quality bows start at $70

550 paracord strings come pre-stretched and tested with both dry fire and live fire before shipping. Most arrow nocks adapt fine to the thicker paracord.

All bows are ambidextrous (right or left-handed). Deluxe finishes include:

• •Wood stains (light, dark, cherry, silver wood)
• •Color options (blue, green, purple, black, white, gold)
• •Custom leather handle colors
• •Camo and specialty finishes
• •Character-specific replicas with full detailing

• •Carbon Arrows - 32" length with blue/white fletching, fully functional for target practice at $4/arrow

Arrow Bundles on eBay: - 3 arrows for $12 - 6 arrows for $21 - 9 arrows for $30 - 12 arrows for $39

• •Arrow Rests - Sold separately, come with leather handle options

• •Prop Arrows - Convention-safe foam and wooden dowel arrows for costume use

For bows without arrow rests (shooting off-hand), use arrows 2 inches longer than your normal draw length to clear your hand safely. Example: if you normally use 28" arrows, use 30" arrows.

"We guarantee the bows will last under any normal archery/cosplay stresses. If the bow malfunctions through natural use, we will fix or replace it at no extra charge."

You'll need to send photos and explanation of the issue. If you prefer replacement over repair, they'll refund you (return shipping of the damaged bow required). Some exceptions apply to international orders.

• •Local Repair Option: If you live near Provo, Utah or Peoria, Arizona, bring your bow in person for repairs instead of shipping.

Bows ship with sealant coating that handles normal use and minor accidents. Over time with regular shooting, finish may wear. Nicks and scratches are easy fixes with inexpensive touch-up materials. Contact them for guidance on re-finishing.

• •DO NOT leave bows in hot cars (PVC can warp)
• •Unstring when not in use (good archery practice)
• •YouTube tutorials available for stringing/unstringing
• •Spare strings and replacement strings available on request
