[recon man sol]

that is pretty cool but where do you get the metal

[TyMan210]

i cant find it

[sora5551]

instead of string cut a thin rubberband in half and tie it to the end and another sollution for ammo is chop sticks

[greymatter21]

fk rubber bands at least he has an original* bow idea

*not using rubber bands

[TyMan210]

In my experience rubber bands just break. I wanted to use something stronger. I would've used elastic cord if I had some.

 if you have a drill you can drill a hole in about the middle of the file and shoot the metal skewer through that to make it more accurate

lol that solder burn

[sharlston]

where do i obtain these files? :)

[quesoman]

almost all office supply stores should have them. Staples. Office Max. Office Depot. Maybe even Target.

[bjornacorn]

Exactly where in the file is it? :

[TyMan210]

It is only in hanging files like these:

umm dude you said you can wooden skewers as arrows, it should be you can use wooden skewers. just telling you your mistake.

[TyMan210]

Ok, thanks for pointing it out. It is fixed.

So... does it fire well? It looks as if the metal pieces are flimsey, or could bend easily. If you glued two together, you could probobly get around this problem.

[TyMan210]

It fires about ten feet at the most. But i changed mine...

[lazymoocher]

This doesn't look very safe!

[TyMan210]

Most things I do are unsafe. Safe is illogical.

[bubba j]

[Camisado]
