We also offer bows from a few popular series, including some Lord of the Rings bows that reflect the weapons wielded by the elves of Middle-earth, including a few longbows based on the weapons of Legolas himself! Vibrancy of color and intricate detailing on each piece makes every fantasy bow here at Medieval Archery a stunning sight to see. They come in a number of styles, ranging from elven bows adorned with natural designs and flowing scrollwork to rugged woodsman and ranger bows fit for the best of hunters. This ensures that as ornate as they may look, each one is also a functional bow that you can use to nock, draw, and fire arrows. Like our more traditional longbows, each and every one of our fantasy bows are crafted entirely by hand. After all, we carry a number of fantasy bows that are every bit as functional as they are lovely to look at.

On a side note, I've always found this set of exchanges between Legolas and Gimli to be faintly disturbing. (And yes, he does later go on to use a knife, saying to Gimli: "It has been knife-work up here.") But that is only a few leaves in a forest.' 'I have done better, though now I must grope for spent arrows all mine are gone. He had returned to his place on the wall. 'And I,' said Legolas, 'will take all the arrows that I can find, for my quiver is empty.' He searched in the pile on the ground about and found not a few that were undamaged and longer in the shaft than such arrows as the Orcs were accustomed to use.
Twice - in the very battle you mention at the end of Fellowship, and again in the battle of Helm's Deep - he is explicitly described as running out of arrows and having to hunt around for more:
This might be true in the movie, but certainly not in the books.
