That being said yes bigger does not always equal heavier, as a big balloon isn't as heavy as a big bowling ball (this is known fact) but if you take a dense horn and put it on a bow it will feel heavier, also the fact that the bow looks "top heavy" makes it seem like it should be even more cumbersome to wield than if the big part was on the bottom of the bow.
is it made from ifrit?
