If you cut the arrows down you can fit a few of them and the bow inside of an altoids tin.

[EPL]

you could do that or use q-tips. how much did you cut them down to?

[0_0]

Just small enough to fit in the tin. Q-tips sound like a good idea though, I'll give that a try.

[EPL]

a kid brought it in to school with q-tips and he shot one into my. literally between the socket and actual eyeball.

[recon man sol]

into an eyeball that could blind someone

http://www.instructables.com/id/Bic-pen--bow-%26-arrow/ was here about 3 years before this...

[EPL]

ok? i joined like 2 months ago, so whats your point?

[Jake_C]

BTW, I'm not just talking about you, if I felt like wasting 10 minutes, I could find at least 10 of these, I'm not trying to offend.

[Jake_C]

I'm not saying you intentionally stole it, but look up instructables before you post your idea to see if their are any that are almost identical. If there is a big difference, than post it, but if not, don't.

[EPL]

I realize there are a lot of these types of instrucatbles. this has some small differences such as the grip going through the pen. its a bit shorter also. its clear and looks better.the arrow is smaller.

[Jake_C]

Ok....

[foxtrot4697]

he made this because their is the bic grip stick pens that are different than the ones the other dude uses

[joeydarke]

how far does this go?

[EPL]

prety far if you pull it back all the way. i'd say about 15 feet if the conditions are rights.

[EPL]

wow this is great :-)

[canno]
