I cant take ranges of it but estimating by the length of my house the bow shoots 200-250 feet at optimal angle with real arrows im assuming its gonna be worse with heavier arrows with foam and stuff

What the hell was that? I dont know! Something else also terrible!

I'm sure there is a way to use the range to calculate the pull, but I don't know it off hand.  It's up to the Rules & Safety Marshals to judge your bow & shooting skills/technique to see if you're safe enough to go around shooting.

Given that you're rarely going to be shooting at people more than, say, fifty feet away, especially in line fights, it's probably overkill to bring a 200-250 foot range bow... I'd follow the guidelines they give you for making arrows: Have someone shoot you with it, then shoot them. If either of you show any concern, it's not safe.

I can't find it in the rulebook, but there is a statement that "no weapon is garaunteed to be accepted" by Staff.  Usually this applies to latex weapons, but if you bring in a homemade weapon & the Staff view it as unsafe, you cannot use it.

No one intentionally targets bows in melee combat, but chaos reigns in fights.  A stray hit could whack your bow and the idea of metal bar on the inside handle doesn't sit well with me.  Just my personal opinion...

If you're looking for a bow for game, check the web links on the left menu bar of the website.  There are lots of sites that offer bows.

Yeah those ranges are with real arrows with the ones I made I let my friend shoot me from five feet and it was fine and for the metal bar in handle problem it's inside the PVC two layers deep
