Inflate a 260Q, leaving a 4" nipple. Tie the bow-string to each end of the inflated balloon which will shape it into a bow. Arrow: Inflate a 260Q leaving a 6" nipple. Tie off the nipple and remove. Hold the Bow in one hand. Poke your index finger of your other hand into the arrow balloon (like when making a deep apple twist) and hold the arrow with your thumb and other 3 fingers. To shoot the arrow, place it in the bow and draw back the string, but don't actually use the bow-string to shoot the arrow - just release your grip on the arrow balloon as you simultaneously let go of the string and off it will shoot straight as a speeding bullet..., uh, I mean, faster than an arrow..., uh, I mean... Oh, phooey! Mark PS - please don't aim it at people, as much as they may deserve it. That's what spear guns are for.... o _/ \_
