Lets dont and say we did. Wolf, man that is scary that you are actually going to try and shoot a deer with a bow made from tent poles. What are you going to use as an arrow, a curtain rods? Why not just use the bow you have now. Homemade bows are not the way to go man, unless you are making a long bow or recurve and you have some sort of directions. Not trying to come off as an a$$, but what happens if it breaks while you are shooting it. It could cause some serious damage.
