It's actually only usable as a bow when sheathed, otherwise it's just a pair of sabers connected at the hilt. On the sheaths are winches for a composite bow, and she is practised enough that drawing the string from one end to the other is second nature to her (she's 28, so she's been a fully graduated Huntress for 7 years now). The sheaths are magnetically attached to her belt, which allows her to sheathe the swords, remove the sheaths from the belt and connect them via hilts, and then string it. It's about three movements all up, and due to practise it takes her about 1 second to complete in it's entirety.

I always think about the string when I make a bow. :p
