In this video I demonstrate 1' PVC pipe constructed bow power along with different styles I've been crafting. 3/4" bows usually max out around 40 pounds of draw weight, but now that I've experimented with 1" PVC, I have concluded that the power is practically doubled. The strongest 1" bow I know of can launch arrows with 90 pounds of draw weight, but I've learned that pre-bending the handle can lower the strength of the bows; this means that 1" bows can be personally decorated easier(without risk of breaking) and also be used in LARP games.
