If I’m reading this right, you said the blade splits in 2 to form a bow, so the bow should be about….twice the size of the scythe

A longbow is about 6 feet, a kama is about 1.5 feet, and a war scythe is about a halbeard length...making it 6 feet…. You see my problem? Twice the size of a kama should give you a bow, not a longbow mind you but a bow nonetheless. Twice the size of a scythe will give you a 12 foot bow that even centaurs couldn’t properly aim with.

The blade of the scythe splits and slides outward to form the limbs. It doesn't slide all the way so it isn't that long. I'm using the Eclipse Scythe as a reference and seeing it can fold and the shaft is retractable, in it's folded form, it's about... 4 to 4.5 feet. The bow form is made when the scythe is folded. Like this.

The blade splits down the middle. I would draw you the weapon design if I had time, but trust me when I say it is not as big as you think. And who said it was a war scythe?
