Here is our PVC rendition of Kikyo's bow. We have replaced the white cord with a wrap to better replicate Kikyo's bow. This bow is nearly 60" long. This bow is different than the the Kagame bow in that it has more of a rectangular shape with no recurve.
General Draw-Weight: 20-25 pounds. If you would like a different poundage please message us. We are happy to help.

We have recently added an arrows option to all of our bows. These are fully functional carbon arrows. They measure 32" in length with a blue and white fletching. They are great for target practice and are very competitively priced at $4/arrow. If you would like to purchase more than a bundle of 9, please message us.
Be advised that a bow and arrow is a weapon so please use caution and common sense while using.
ABOUT OUR BOWS IN GENERAL
-Bows-
Our bows are made of Schedule 40 PVC pipe. They are heated and shaped to make the particular designs you see in our store. All of our bows are ambidextrous (meaning you can use it right or left-handed).
PVC pipe has some awesome qualities that other materials don't. It is water proof. It is very durable, so you don't have to worry about any of the abuse that would make bow-owners cringe, such as dropping it, banging it against objects, stepping on it, or dry firing it. The pvc is quite resistant to dry fire. However, we do not recommend that you constantly dry fire your bow. This benefit mostly serves as a cushion for those who, unfamiliar with bows, grab the bow and dry fire it.
We have yet to see a loss in poundage in our bows. These bows will hold their own compared to bows made of other materials.
DO NOT LEAVE IN HOT CARS.
-String-
The string is 550 Paracord. We have never experienced any issues with this type of string. It holds up to any of the stresses that archery can put on a string. It does have some initial stretch which we take care of prior to shipping. We test all the bows with dry fire and live fire multiple times to ensure functionality and to stretch the string.
-Paint/Finish-
If you desire a special finish, like the wooden finish, camo, etc. please look at the Deluxe Finish item in our shop. It is a separate item that you must add to your cart in the same purchase. There you will find some pictures and descriptions of these finishes.
To preserve the finish, we spray on a couple coats of sealant. That will hold up to most natural usage and accidents. However, this is still a temporary fix at best. With time and use, the finish may begin to wear.
-Arrows-
These bows will work great with any type of arrow. If you have a bow without an arrow rest, you will be shooting off the hand. If you are to shoot off the hand, we recommend that you get arrows that are two inches longer than your usual draw length (for example, if you normally use 28 inch arrows, you would use 30 inch arrows). This is to ensure that the arrow clears your hand safely, so you don't risk injury to your hand.
GUARANTEE
We guarantee the bows will last under any normal archery/cosplay stresses. If the bow malfunctions through natural use, we will replace it at no extra charge. We ask that you send us a photo as proof and that you explain what happened. If you'd rather not receive a replacement, we will refund you. In either case, you must send back the malfunctioning bow.
