Introduction: K'nex Bow

hi this is my first ever instructable so after this tell me what you think.


I am not liable for what anybody does with this bow.

feel free to mod tho. send me a pic if you do.


Here are the pieces that are needed.

connectors-
yellow-10
orange-19

Rods-
Grey-4 to infinity depending on how many arrows you want
blue-2
yellow-2
white-3

other-1-3 rubber bands.
(strength and distance depends on the rubber bands)

This is what you will build.

Step 1: The Bottom

How to build the bottom.




this is the bottom

Step 2: The Rest of the Bottom

this is the rest of the bottom.

Step 3: The Top and Middle

now for the rest of it the bow.





this is the top. now to start building it.

pic 2-make these. some are for the middle some are for later.

Step 4: The Bow String

it's easy. all ya do is tie some rubber bands to 2 orange connectors. then tie a broken rubber band to the two other rubber bands.

Step 5: Assembly

ok here is a short guide.

pic 1-just add the pieces we made earlier.
pic 2-again, add the pieces but look at the picture. once you have them in, add a yellow rod to keep them in place and for more support.
pic 3-add the bottom to the bottom (2).



WE HAVE OUR BOW!

Step 6: A Few Tips and Guns I Like.

1:ok, now this is just some quick tips that are cool about this bow. main one--- you can store arrows in the bow!!! the more arrows you can put into it, more support also. this is where you can put a few.


2:another tip is that you can easily change how tight the bowstring is. you just detach it and place it in different parts of the bow. =)



other guns and things made of knex I like.The number of the gun is the pictures of them too.

8: knex tr-18.

11: veddy good pistol, not in range or power but it has a clip in the top. holds up to 12 bolts.

9-10:FMG-9... too bad it isn't a machine gun.

6-7: my crossbow. I plan on making instructions later.

12: really strong gun. with 12 rubber bands you can shoot through an aerosol can.


all of these with the exeption of the Crossbow is on youtube.

please rate and comment.
