    Lame. These arrows spear to be moving in the 100fps range. As a bow hunter I can tell you that a lethal bow is more in the 250-300fps range. It would be almost impossible to kill anything with the bow in this video.

    You can make it a 40 to 60 lb bow by starting at 1 1/2″ pic and inserting smaller sizes finishing with a 1/4-1/2″ thick fiberglass Rod in the middle,

    I have serious doubts about that. Even if someone could actually hit a target that small with this.
