London MCM - Strung Bows?

[macrudd]

I've read in their rules that all bows must be unstrung to be allowed in, but I've seen a few pictures of people with strung bows with a pulled back arrow whilst inside. How strict are they about that rule? I was thinking of cosplaying as Arrow in May.

Usually they have been fairly relaxed however in october there were people hecking the weapons as they entered, some were refused but couldnt get a look at why, as far as the string on your bow goes, I would have it attached but visibly loose so that it can't be use but can still be drawn bqck to pose with

The rules don't say anything about arrows. Does anyone know the rules for those?

Also thank you stigmorgan for the fast response

I would have thought thin elastic instead of a bow string would pass.
