A crossbow would be better. If you can do some metalwork you can fashion one out of a VSR 10. I actually have Drawings for one,might even have some CAD plans.

You could just use an actual bow and put a barrel where the arrow would go, and then a separate tube parallel to it with a plunger system attached to the string.

So letting the string loose blasts air into the barrel via the parallel plunger type mechanism.

It's actually been done already in paintball.

So it would operate in a similar way to a springer?

Basically,yes. You can use an A&K SVD cylinder and a pistol barrel to keep the overall length low. Hide the innards in a big steel tube with cutouts for the bow string to attach to the piston.

There used to be a device called an airbow. Long piston attached to the string in a cylinder attached to the bow. It fired small darts allowing practice at home. airsoft cylinders are not long enough, you need about 2 ft draw length. Think long thin bicycle pump bolted halfway along it's cylinder to the bow. With a pistol barrel maybe mounted on top. I would add an O ring in front of the bb so the pressure can build up before it shoots.

What are your thoughts for targeting?

Wing it lol
