K'nex mini-bow

This is a bow I made at my friend's house once. It only uses 17 pieces and I think it shoots well for its small size.

Step 1: Collect all of the pieces

First off let's get neat and organized and collect all of the pieces. You will need what is on the picture below. Above the pieces is what the finished bow should look like.

yea I made that one earlier and I sharpened the end of the arrow with a pencil sharpener. Now it goes through a box like 20 feet away.

Good Job. Can you make it where it's a bit easier to load the arrow?

It works great! though i had to improvise because i didn't have the right pieces, and it ended up looking like a slingshot-crossbow mix :P

I made this other bow that should shoot longer arrows but I haven't tried it yet. Should I post? Also this one that I posted is my first instructable so I'm working on better stuff.
