Mini Pen Bow & Arrow

Mini Pen Bow & Arrow
Our latest experiment! The mini pen bow & arrow has a firing distance up to 20 feet and is deadly accurate. It is easy to make, compact and will leave a mark (literally!) The pen fires it's own ink cartridge, which leaves for cheap ammo. This mini weapon is very fun and easy to use, but I am required to say this so here I go: Please be careful at what you shoot and I will not be responsible if someone gets hurt. With that out of the way, lets get started.
