The length and construction of the arms of a bow directly impact the draw weight and thus the power behind your shot; as a heavier pull means it is storing more energy.

Your design would, at best, have half the draw weight of a normal bow of comparable size and materials. You would be lucky to kill a rabbit with that since a weaker pull means slower, less stable arrows.

If you try to use it on people or Grimm you're pretty much fucked.

Essentially, the design is self defeating, contradictory, and actively detrimental to chance of survival in combat.
