High Tension
How can I make my own high-tension bow?
I already made one out of a PVC pipe and nylon, but it doesn’t have enough strength, and I feel like if I pull too hard, I’ll snap it. I want to make one that takes strength to pull, and shoots far, fast, and deadly.
Find a good, straight-growing ash tree (or oak, or elm, or hickory, or yew, or……) and cut it down…..
Just joking. All you have to do is follow the instructions on building a board bow, given by the folks at these forums:

The good thing about board bows is that you can find a decent board at almost any lumber yard.
And forget about using the nylon rope/string found in hardware and sewing stores (Menard’s, Walmart, etc) for a bowstring. It ain’t designed to be used as a bowstring — it stretches too much.
As for “far, fast and deadly”, it depends on what your definition of “far, fast and deadly” is. In the majority of hunting situations, “far” is less than 40 yards; “fast” is 250 feet per second; and “deadly” is a sharp broadhead accurately placed in the vitals. For some interesting reading for the serious bowhunter, the following is highly recommended:
