Well, you could theoretically make a bow that uses a spring like system on both ends of the string, while maintaining a fixed bow. Basically make the string flexible but the bow static, not the other way around. Normally it wouldn’t work as effectively as a flexible bow and a static string, but the RWBY-verse might allow it the same effectiveness.
