I made a functional bow just with PVC pipes and EVA foam! Something I never made in 19 years of crafting was a working bow and I'm so excited Empires & Puzzles gave me finally the opportunity to do so! I used mainly rigid, non-plasticized PVC pipes, EVA foam and some LEDs. Plus, I even made a magical light up arrow to complete the fantasy look! The bow moves and bends just as a real one, but I pre-bended it to limit the tension for additional safety. How do you like it? :)
