Lord of the Rings Galadhrim Functional PVC Pipe Bow

Lord of the Rings Galadhrim Functional PVC Pipe Bow

Regular price $135.00 Sale

Due to popular demand we have come out with a FUNCTIONAL Galadhrim bow from the Lord of the Rings series. It is a classic elven bow with a default dark wood finish and 3D metallic gold design. It has both an elegant feel and look.

If you are interested in the prop version of this bow follow this link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/267009014/galadhrim-bow-from-lord-of-the-rings?ref=shop_home_active_16

General Draw Weight: 25-35 pounds; If you would like the draw weight to be higher than this, we can provide you with a shorter bow that will accommodate that poundage. Please message us for more details.

Measurements: The bow measures about 78 inches (198.12 cm) strung and unstrung. It is ambidextrous. It is made with 1" pipe, so it will be slightly thicker than the prop bow which is made from 3/4" pipe. We have not found that this impedes usage. In fact, it feels very durable and smooth when in use.

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-

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. UNSTRING BOW WHEN NOT IN USE.

-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.
