I'm somewhat short (only 5 ft), but I believe the bow is 58" inches long and it has a 40 lb pull. Although I often cosplay archer characters, I myself am not trained in the sport and I don't really have the strength to pull back the string all the way to the correct position and fire the bow as it should be fired. The arrows I made do work. I actually test fired them with one of my other smaller/lighter longbows before I put the heads on. But due to safety reasons, the arrowheads are made from craft foam, so they can't pierce anyone or anything. And yeah, cosplaying does take a lot of work, even though most people (like myself) consider themselves amateurs and hobbyists at the most. There are, however, some "professional" cosplayers who've been able to market themselves and make money off their work, but that's whole other story.

HF - I love that pic of you guys!
Khaleesi - If the bow is functioning, does that mean that it's not allowed in a convention? Just curious - I thought that all props had to be non-functioning for safety purposes. Also - Is that all your natural hair?? |

And no, that isn't my natural hair color, but it isn't a wig, either. I'm a blond, but I've been dying my hair red for years now, so it might as well be my natural color. Yeah, I totally want to see that film. Have any of you ever seen the film Darkon (2006)? It's a really interesting documentary of a LARP community.

I was in the Dominican shooting a wedding a couple of years ago ..
got into a volleyball game against a couple of big US military guys and was blocking them and hitting past them and they were getting pissed .. one of them points at my shirt (the Vestron shirt) and says - no wonder - he's a pro player .. 1) what the hell is a pro volleyball player? 2) that's the Vestron logo - not a volleyball :D
