K'nex bow prototype

NOTE: Please note before making this that this bow is designed to shoot larger arrows. I haven't tested it yet, so I'm only posting it as an idea that others can build on. After building it please don't fling any criticism for the design. If you have modded it, please post some photos because I want to see it!

Step 1: Supplies

Gather all of the pieces.......

Connectors:
14 red
4 green
12 yellow
4 gray

Rods:
2 purple (the kind that bends)
2 red
12 yellow
3 blue
4 white
8 small black (not in the picture)

You need four special black pieces. They latch onto the side of rods but don't fit on the ends. They are used to hold the rubber band in place so don't fret if you don't have them.

I've tried to fit real arrows in there but the fletching blocks the path. You might be able to try it with a special kind called flu-flu fletching. Other than that you may have to resort to making your own wooden arrows or cutting fletching off.
